How to uninstall packages

Run "setup.py install" with the --record option; then remove
all files that have been recorded as installed.

This is clean depending on the package being installed;
a package may perform additional actions which don't get
recorded in the --record option; in such a case, you need
to study setup.py and find out what these additional
actions are and how to revert them.
