Thanks.
I used plain pip, no sudo stuff.
Time to hunt the . directories.
Thanks!

Did you use ‘sudo pip install …’ or just pip as your regular user?
Because if you just used your regular user, it’s most likely sitting in a
directory in ~/.local/lib/python3.* and you can just delete everything in
there and not affect the OS packages.
If you used sudo, most likely it’s all in /usr/local/lib/python3.* and
/usr/local/share/python3.* but it might be worth running ‘rpm -Va python*’
and reinstall any packages that fail checksum verification.
If you want to play with pip I really suggest leaning to love Python
virtual environments (the venv module) since they are really good for
containing everything in a directory. If you must use sudo pip, check out
podman container toolbox to keep it from breaking your OS. Container
toolboxes might not work with your IDE though, I tend to use emacs so I’ve
never had a problem.
