The way to keep things clean is with virtualenv.  When creating a 
project, start by making a virtualenv for it.  Always activate the 
virtualenv when working on the project.  Always install Python packages 
with pip, they will be installed into your virtualenv.

When you no longer need the project, you can simply delete the 
virtualenv directory, it has everything in it.

The helper virtualenvwrapper provides some shell tools to make some of 
this easier, but it's completely optional.
