it's already there:
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0376/#adding-an-uninstall-function
That (at least as I read it) is a function, not a command. If it is a command, give an example of its use from the command line for us poor "don't want to research" people. If the following works:
$ python setup.py uninstall some_package
Then explicitly say so for us poor schlubs.
Right, I'll add that. Although it will be a reference implementation only.
