there have been plans for python to implement a database to keep track of stuff so you can do uninstall for a number of years but i don't think anyone has actually added it yet. so i think there is no uninstall feature if the person used the distutils straight up.
i have seen packages where setup.py uninstall works but it's something the package maker has to add i think (as an extension ?) i'm not actually sure how to do it
edit: just as an afterthought in the future you might try if you have an rpm based system
setup.py bdist_rpm and then later you can uninstall it
