How does one remove applications installed through "python setup.py install"?
Martin v. Löwis answered this here:
"You need to remove all files manually, and also undo any other stuff that installation did manually.
If you don't know the list of all files, you can reinstall it with the --record option, and take a look at the list this produces."
examples:
python setup.py install --record files.txt to generate the list
cat files.txt | xargs rm -rf to remove the files recorded by the previous step.
You should always install Python apps with "pip". pip supports uninstall option.
