I need to install psycopg2 v2.4.1 specifically. I accidentally did:
pip install psycopg2 Instead of:
pip install psycopg2==2.4.1 That installs 2.4.4 instead of the earlier version.
Now even after I pip uninstall psycopg2 and attempt to reinstall with the correct version, it appears that pip is re-using the cache it downloaded the first time.
How can I force pip to clear out its download cache and use the specific version I'm including in the command?

It is safe to delete the user cache directory. It will simply cause pip to re-download all packages from PyPI.
pip's caching behaviour is disabled by passing the --no-cache-dir option.
cache directory, for example for pip to install desired version of package. Yes you can delete all of . cache with no long term detrimental effects.
Uninstalling/removing Python packages using Pip To uninstall, or remove, a package use the command '$PIP uninstall <package-name>'. This example will remove the flask package.
If using pip 6.0 or newer, try adding the --no-cache-dir option (source).
If using pip older than pip 6.0, upgrade it with pip install -U pip.
