The Makefile would be located in the source directory where you built
Python, not in the installation directory.  But in any case, I don't
think the Python Makefile includes an uninstall option.  If you want
to uninstall Python that was built from source, you need to remove the
files by hand.

Because CentOS 6 evidently does not provide a package for any version
of Python other than 2.6.  If you want to install another version, you
will need to do it from source.
