+To uninstall a python package which has been installed via `python setup.py install`
+you have to remove all files manually. If you don't know which files were installed,
+you can reinstall the package with the `--record` option to see what was included.
+e.g.
+
+`python setup.py install --record list.txt`
+
+You can examine the list and then use xargs for the removal:
+
+`cat list.txt | xargs rm -rf`
