Looks good. You might want to add the (undocumented) universal flag to
setup.cfg, as your wheel is Python only and works for Python 2 and 3, and
so not version-specific.
setup.cfg:
[wheel]
universal=1

Looks good. I thought wheel install gave some progress output, but it's a
long time since I used it and I may be misremembering. You can also use pip
install --use-wheel if you prefer (assuming you have pip 1.4+)
So now how do I uninstall it?

Odd. pip uninstall should work. Can you confirm your version of pip and
wheel? And can you list the contents of the spam-1.0.dist-info directory in
your site-packages?
