As can be seen in this SOEN response , you need to manually remove the files. If you do not know what these files are, you can use the --record parameter during setup to list these files, as in the following example
python setup.py install --record files.txt
This will generate a files.txt file, which will list all files. If you are in Windows, simply delete them from the directory manually. If you are on Linux, you can use the following command in the shell:
cat files.txt | xargs rm -rf
If you have pip installed, based on in this other SOEN response , you can use it to try uninstall it in a simpler way. For this you can use the command:
pip freeze
This will list all the packages that the pip has identified that are installed. If it has found the package you want to uninstall, simply type:
pip uninstall o.nome.do.pacote.que.voce.quer.remover
If he requests a confirmation to delete these packages, it means that everything went well, just confirm the uninstallation.
