Status update: Josip implemented PEP 376 to provide the installation database

directory is not all that inconvenient: it's by no means perfect, but it

python setup.py uninstall
should do all the same processing as 'install' but whenever it gets to
the point of copying a file to a system destination, it should instead
unlink the destination.
besides the obvious use, here is another one:

philobyte, this means you have to keep the source somewhere to be able

everything is Python), if the distutils supported an uninstallation
command, e.g.
python setup.py
