Unable to uninstall package installed by easy_install

Here is a good answer about it: How do I remove packages installed with Python's easy_install?
I think it is easier to install pip and uninstall this package. Like the link above says, you can remove the package directory that can be easily found in your site-packages Python directory (but I really prefer the first option).
pip uninstall Beaver

I installed module beaver by using the following command
easy_install Beaver
Now I need to remove this package from my server and I do the following:
easy_install -m Beaver
But the package is still in the system and I get the following message:
Searching for Beaver Best match: Beaver 30 Using /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages Because this distribution was installed --multi-version, before you can import modules from this package in an application, you will need to 'import pkg_resources' and then use a 'require()' call similar to one of these examples, in order to select the desired version: pkg_resources.require("Beaver") # latest installed version pkg_resources.require("Beaver==30") # this exact version pkg_resources.require("Beaver>=30") # this version or higher Processing dependencies for Beaver Finished processing dependencies for Beaver
The following command:
which beaver
shows me path to this module
/usr/local/bin/beaver
Help me to remove this package from system completly
