Hi,
1) When running 'setup.py bdist_egg' the subdirectories build/ and dists/ are created. Do people typically add and mange these directories and their contents within subversion as well? Or do you typically have a separate place, outside of your subversion sandbox for building distributions?
It's usually a good idea to exclude those subdirectories using the svn:ignore property.
2) I'm using epydoc to generate documentation for my module. Is it appropriate to include the resulting html/ directory and it's contents in the egg in some way and if so, how?
No; that should usually be only included in your source distribution, unless the package itself (or something it plugs into) will use the documentation at runtime. (For example, a Zope "product" or a Trac plugin that need to include HTML help to be displayed when using the product or plugin.)
