How to uninstall something installed by "setup.py install"?

I have installed a development version of rdiff-backup using its
"setup.py install" but now find I need to uninstall it. Is there any
'easy' way to do this and/or can I find out what files it has
installed where so I can remove them?

Sadly, the re-invention of package management as seen in
'easy_install' does not implement an "uninstall" command.

This is one reason why many of us avoid it and use system-wide package
management instead. Unfortunately, not all operating systems are
mature enough to have decent package management.
