python setup.py uninstall?

Question

I have installed a python package with `python setup.py install`.How do I uninstall it?

Answer 1

Option 1:

It's sometimes tricky to find all the variation of packages installed. To find them, do

>> pip freeze | grep <main_part_of_your_package_name>

Once you found them, for each of those, do

>> pip uninstall <package_name_variation>

Option 2:

Save the names of files installed:

>> python setup.py install --record installed_files.txt

To uninstall, delete all recorded files:

>> xargs rm -rf < installed_files.txt
