What's wrong with the record option of install:
python setup.py install --record installed_files
Then it's pretty easy to do:
rm -rf `cat
Installing a Python package is easy, most of time just

Note that I don't really care about uninstall support,
I'd second Skip's point. Now that setup.py does install, and it knows what

uninstall (because it copied the files in the first place) I think it's a
