That had no affect.
I figured it out. easy_install edited a file called easy_install.pth
and added a bunch of directories.
Cheers for the help.

setupegg develop does not modify the sys.path (at least, not permanently --
not sure exactly what it does deep under the hood). What it does is adds a
.egg-lnk file in your site-packages directory to point to your source code
tree. Get rid of that .egg-lnk file, and you should be good to go.

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?

Hello,
The CFP for SciPy India 2012, to be held in IIT Bombay from December
27-29 is open. Please spread the word!
Scipy.in is a conference providing opportunities to spread the use of
the Python programming language in the Scientific Computing community
in India. It provides a unique opportunity to interact with the "Who's
who" of the Python for Scientific Computing fraternity and learn,
understand, participate, and contribute to Scientific Computing using
Python. Attendees of the conference and participants of the sprints
planned will be able to access and review the tools available. They
will also be able to learn domain-specific applications and how the
tools apply to a plethora of application problems.
One of the goals of the conference is to combine education,
engineering, and science with computing through the medium of
Python. This conference also aims to spread the use of Python for
Scientific Computing in various fields and among different
communities.
Call for Papers
================
 We look forward to your submissions on the use of Python for
 Scientific Computing and Education. This includes pedagogy,
 exploration, modeling and analysis from both applied and
 developmental perspectives. We welcome contributions from academia
 as well as industry.
Submission of Papers
=====================
 If you wish to present your paper using this platform, please submit
 an abstract of 300 to 700 words describing the topic, including its
 relevance to scientific computing. Based on the number and quality
 of the submissions, the conference organizers will allot 10 - 30
 minutes for each accepted talk.
 In addition to these talks, there will be an open session of
 lightning talks, during which any attendee who wishes to talk on a
 pertinent topic is invited to do a presentation not exceeding five
 minutes in duration.
 If you wish to present a talk at the conference, please follow the
 guidelines below.
Submission Guidelines
======================
 - Submit your proposals at sc...@fo...
 - Submissions whose main purpose is to promote a commercial product
or service will be refused.
 - All accepted proposals must be presented at the SciPy conference
by at least one author.
Important Dates
