[Matplotlib-users] setupegg.py modifies sys.path?

[Damon M. <dam...@gm...>]

I tried a `python setupegg.py develop` to diagnose a bug for someone.
Now my mpl git repo has magically appeared at the front of my
sys.path. Since I cleaned out the lib/matplotlib directory, I now get
import errors like "No module named matplotlib._path" because it's
looking in my git repo for all the modules. I've spent about an hour
trying to figure out what else might modified my sys.path and this is
the conclusion I've come to. I've nuked ~/.pip and ~/.ipython to no
avail.

Did setupegg modify my sys.path? If so, how do I change it back?
