GNU stow does handle these issues.
I'm not sure GNU stow will handle the .PTH when deinstalling packages. In easy_install.PTH there will be a list of all the packages installed. This list really needs to be edited once a package is removed. The .PTH files are a really good part of python. Definitely nothing evil about them. David
