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: when upgrading a package, and the new version no longer includes certain files, just installing the new version will leave leftovers of the previous version installed. using uninstall beforehand will clean out the cruft.
