今天在卸载numpy的时候出现了下面的错误：

ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'numpy'. It is a distutils installed project and 
thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would 
lead to only a partial uninstal

我的卸载命令是：

pip uninstall numpy

解决方法

pip install --ignore-installed --user  numpy==1.10.4

然后就安装成功了。
