Uninstall as a command feels a little weird. Since "python setup.py [some-command]" implies that the setup.py contains information about the distribution that the command is being applied to. So instead of:
$ python setup.py uninstall some_package
It could be:
$ python -m distutils uninstall some_package
Asymmetrical with the install of course.
Yes exactly, I was going to add: $ python -m distutils.uninstall some_package The whole point of the RECORD file is to be able to uninstall without depending on the original archive used to install
