To uninstall your Python agent:

1.  Use one of these methods:

    -   If you installed with PIP, run:

        ```sh
        pip uninstall newrelic
        ```
    -   If you installed with `easy_install`, run:

        ```sh
        easy_install -m newrelic
        ```
2.  When the uninstall process finishes, restart your app.
