How do I delete a package using easy_install?

That doesn't remove a package. It simply removes the package from
the search path by one method in hopes that no further instances of
it will be loaded.
To actually remove it, you have to know the format of the library,
the package formats, local library storage conventions, and you need
to be an expert user of distutils, setuptools, buildout, etc, in
order to determine the content of the package itself in order to
remove it manually.
As it says at the above link:
"After you've done this, you can safely delete the .egg files or
directories, along with any scripts you wish to remove."
What it doesn't mention (but which should be apparent if you actually
run the command) is that it will output the locations of the .egg
files or directories and scripts in question, allowing you to copy
and paste them to 'rm' or 'del' commands.
