How to remove pip itself?

Question

Python

Hello. I have a problem with pip, it doesn't work. Known error. So, I put it through setup_tools, but right now I can’t delete it.
How to completely cut it out of the system so that it would be as if it was not there.
System: Debian 6
Ps Oddly enough, googling didn't give any results.

rm -rf the site-packages/pip-*.egg directory and remove the line from site-packages/easy-install.pth, might also clean up pip's whereis.
You can also try pip uninstall for the sake of experiment.
