I am new to python, but am very enthusiastic about the language and
hope to start using it for serious work soon (after I am more
comfortable with all the details).

I have installed a package via the Python Package Manager program on
Mac OS X 10.3 (http://www.python.org/packman/).

My question is:

How do I UNinstall the package? Is there somewhere I can find what has
been installed and where it was installed so I can delete the file(s)
manually? Or is there a simpler procedure to uninstall, similar to how
the package manager performs the install?

Nothing horrible has occurred yet, but I feel uncomfortable installing
something when I don't know where the files will end up, nor how to
uninstall it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Jeff
