Yes.

:)

I meant for the distutils install mechanism. The others (windows
installer, rpm etc.) are really different mechanisms. That they have
uninstall options is nice, of course, but I still think the distutils
command set ought to include it... So you could do

$ python setup.py install

and then

$ python setup.py uninstall

It sounds so logical... But, as I said, we *can* do it ourselves...
We'd just have to store (in a file in the distribution) where the
files go.

Perhaps. I know I like rpms and windos installers myself... :)

I'll take a look when we get to the next release.
