      It would be nice to have python setup.py uninstall as well to remove it if one decides to build it and install it locally from CLI.

          You only get that SyntaxError because the `python` on your system is not at least Python 3.5.

          However pip uninstall picard worked as root.

          Can this be added as a foot note to the README.md?

          Running python setup.py install --record files.txt as root in the local picard folder gave me this as a result:

          [root@localhost picard]# python setup.py install --record files.txt
          File "setup.py", line 220
          generate_file('win-version-info.txt.in', 'win-version-info.txt', {**args, **version_args})
          ^
          SyntaxError: invalid syntax

          You should be able to remove all files if you record them during installation with:

          python setup.py install --record files.txt

          In this case files.txt will contain all files that were installed and you can delete them. If you did not do this on your initial installation just re-install it.

          Also you should probably be able to use "pip uninstall picard", but I have nevertried this.
