I was actually thinking of something more along the lines of: python -m distutils uninstall <whatever> (Older Pythons won't reliably let you execute a package like that, but 3.1+ and 2.7+ let you do it by including a __main__ module in the package) However, having uninstall as a command supported by setup.py also makes a certain amount of sense.
