Why does 'pip install askbot' uninstall Django?
I have our deployed version of AskBot running on a CentOS 6 system. It is running 0.7.49.
I noticed that pip has a newer version. I am installing on another server that also has Django running, where I can play with the newer AskBot. This second server is running CentOS 7 and Django 1.6.10. (Note that I used yum to install everything on the CentOS 7 server -- no pip.)
To my horror, the pip install askbot command removed Django from the system without even asking me. This server was running other Django applications!
Is there some way I could have avoided this? Should I have known that this was a risk?
