How to delete a Python package

[Nick Vatamaniuc]

Jack,

As a rule,  if you use a Linux distribution, you should just install
the package and then remove the package using the package manager.
Distutils uninstallation is not supported. Of course you could manually
delete the directory in site-packages in most, but not all (!) cases,
that should remove all the files of the package.
