I feel that it is straight forward. Either provide a
/usr/bin/python-uninstall utility, or arrange to make
python -mdistutils.uninstall work, so one would do
python -mdistutils.uninstall some_package

Just noticed that it's defined in distutils. But it's not documented there :-(
Maybe just add a bit to the PEP saying that the class exists in
distutils, give a brief summary, and say that as par
