How do I remove packages installed with Python’s easy_install?

by

pip, an alternative to setuptools/easy_install, provides an “uninstall” command.

Install pip according to the installation instructions:

$ wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
$ python get-pip.py

Then you can use pip uninstall to remove packages installed with easy_install
