I know that most third party Python packages can be "uninstalled" by simply removing them from the default Python installation's site-packages directory or wherever else they happen to be. I just wonder if there are any configuration settings somewhere that would flip their wigs about me not using a specific tool e.g. django-admin.py to uninstall?

Assuming you installed via "setup.py install" or equivalent, there is no special method; just delete the directories and any reference to the Django app in e.g. INSTALLED_APPS for any sites you want to keep.

If you installed packages via Ubuntu's package manager, then "apt-get remove" is a much better method than deleting the directories.
