Yes, the is not obvious to me as well.. It looks like you have to do everything manually, which sucks.

The setup script drops a python script called umonitor in /usr/bin/

Remove that and the umonitor command won't do anything. For the python packages that umonitor installs check this stack overflow thread:

Uninstalling via an AUR package manager cleans up everything, and as mentioned in rliou92's link above, using pip install . lets you easily uninstall using pip uninstall umonitor.

However, if installed via python install setup.py I've had to remove two things manually to uninstall.

For my setup the site-packages directory was /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/

I have discovered a solution! Installing via pip install . instead of python install setup.py allows it to be easily removed using pip uninstall umonitor.

@rliou92 all that is need is the installation section in the README.md to be updated. Issue should be solved after that! :thumbsup:

while installing this program thru recommended sudo python3 setup.py install saw the following output, might be useful for those trying to uninstall - to revert install steps manually:
