Yes, this is a known issue. See uninstall instructions: https://github.com/schlamar/pytest-cov/blob/2.0/pytest-cov/README.rst#uninstallation

This shouldn't be such an issue when ee119a0 gets released.

However, AFAIS @bukzor has already mentioned a solution to this issue, but I can't find it anymore :(

This is the approach buck and I have used with success: https://github.com/ionelmc/python-hunter/blob/c0ea3e0f02b481bafb49bbcaf36b0aa5e2a93e8d/setup.py

Will be fixed in 2.0 (PR #58)
