Does uninstalling a package with pip also remove the dependent packages

Question

When you use pip to install a package  all the required packages will also be installed with it  dependencies   Does uninstalling that package also remove the dependent packages

User · Answer

I have found the solution even though it might be a little difficult for some to carry out.

1st step (for python3 and linux):
pip3 install pip-autoremove
2nd step:
cd /home/usernamegoeshere/.local/bin/
3rd step:
gedit /home/usernamegoeshere/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip_autoremove.py
and change all pip(s) to pip3 4th step: ./pip-autoremove packagenamegoeshere

At least, this was what worked for me ...

No  it doesn t uninstall the dependencies packages  It only removes the specified package    pip install specloud   pip freeze   all the packages here are dependencies of specloud package   figleaf  0 6 1 nose  1 1 2 pinocchio  0 3 specloud  0 4 5    pip uninstall specloud   pip freeze   figleaf  0 6 1 nose  1 1 2 pinocchio  0 3  As you can see those packages are dependencies from specloud and they re still there  but not the specloud package itself  As mentioned below  You can install and use the pip-autoremove utility to remove a package plus unused dependencies
