I didn't do any in depth survey, but I definitely saw a number of .pyc files in what was left behind after uninstalling.
I think it was more then that though, as before re-imaging I had uninstalled the SDK again, deleted the GAE SDK directory and then reinstalled. While trying to solve this I noticed the SDK was putting the datastore in my user temp directory, so I don't know if they've got some other stuff in there as well that may have been removed when I restored my backup hard drive image.
