Why uninstall via Synaptic? If he manually installed from source (I assume 
he did not make a .deb) then I would think that manually re-installing from 
source and then uninstalling from source might work better (assuming the 
install script has an uninstall option). That will clean up any files that 
might have installed to places other (e.g. /usr/share) than the main install
(/usr/local). Not sure if CPython does install other places.

sudo make install
sudo make uninstall?
