I installed Python 3.4rc3 on Windows 7, I downgraded pip (from 1.5.3) to 1.5.3 and then I uninstalled Python 3.4rc3. Some files of pip and setuptools remaing in C:\Python34, is it expected? C:\Python34\Scripts: easy_install-3.4.exe easy_install.exe pip.exe pip3.4.exe pip3.exe C:\Python34\Lib\site-packages: easy_install.py pip\ pip-1.5.3.dist-info\ pkg_resources.py setuptools\ setuptools-2.1.dist-info\ _markerlib\ __pycache__\

This is indeed expected, and applies to any other packages you have installed from PyPI as well (and also to any files that you manually created in the installation directory). Python only removes what it installed itself.
