New changeset 7b3c40510a08 by Martin v. Löwis in branch 'default':
Issue #20748: Uninstalling pip does not leave behind the pyc of

I don't understand the impact of #20748: what happens when 3.4rc2 is uninstalled? C:\Python34 is not removed because C:\Python34Lib\ensurepip\__pycache__\_uninstall.cpython-34.pyc still exist?

It is a regression of Python 3.4rc2, right?

This is all correct. In rc1, uninstallation was clean (but installation failed when elevated privileges were necessary); in rc2, it always installs, but doesn't cleanly uninstall, leaving the installation directory with some subdirectories behind.
