Traceback (most recent call last):   File \"BasicPub.py\", line 1, in

Answer 1

This link provides a few options on how to uninstall zeromq if you use a Debian operating system.

You would need to use the purge command:

sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove python-zmq

Answer 2

You probably installed it using the source ditribution. To undo this, cd to the build directory and type:

make uninstall

Answer 3

You can try the following:

sudo rm /usr/local/lib/libzmq*
sudo rm /usr/local/include/zmq.h

Since these are the two locations that ZeroMQ's libzmq installs into.
