This question is not technical. I know that there is no 'uninstall' Option in a setup.py. I know this discussions and workarounds for that problem, too. <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1550226/python-setup-py-uninstall> I want to understand the design concept behind it. Why isn't there no uninstall routine implemented? For me as a user and admin it feels quite dirty when installing something with the setup.py but then not being able to remove it clean like I would do it with packages of my system-package-manager (e.g. with apt-get on a debianized system).
