Undo installation?

[BrianZbr]

Beets was working fine, but since I ran pip install git+git://github.com/geigerzaehler/beets-alternatives.git@master, it now gives me the following error:

   File "/usr/local/bin/beet", line 9, in <module>
    load_entry_point('beets==1.3.19', 'console_scripts', 'beet')()

Any idea how I might get beets working again (with or without alternatives)?

[BrianZbr]

I got beets (mostly) working again by running sudo pip uninstall beets. The badfiles plugin is still broken though.

I originally installed beets via apt-get in Ubuntu 14.04, so maybe using pip to install this plugin created a conflict? Is there a safe way to install 'alternatives' in this case?

[BrianZbr]

I tried installing beet-alternatives through pip3, and it seemed to work but I still get a ** plugin alternatives not found message from beets.

Also a very old issue, closing this for now. In case you still got this problem, please attach the full traceback (the one you posted is cut off at the end). The problem was probably some combination of incompatible python/beets (maybe very old in the Ubuntu repos)/beets-alternatives versions.
