Ah. This is known problem with standard Python's distutils.
If you feel we should fix it by self, we could do this.
I just want to say that it's not because our setup.py is incorrect,
but because standard distutils does not provide neither uninstall
nor update action.

So we need custom install action that will cleanup old files before
copying new ones. Take a look at bzr's setup.py for reference.
