Do not delete /usr/local/lib/python2.7! All global python modules installed by pip live in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages. All those modules will break!

We should also not uninstall packages by manually removing files and directories. :) These are good practices and there are always occasions when we need to break them. But it is important to know that it is not safe to remove that directory.

In my CentOS7, there are some different: 1. include should be: /usr/local/include/python2.7 , without bin; 2. man file is /usr/local/share/man/man1/python2.7.1 ; 3. Another file: /usr/local/bin/python2.7-config
