Thanks, Matt & Philip.
I'll get them out of source control - since those files were deployed in the installed egg, I thought they were needed to be under source control.
Just like one can specify temp build & dist dirs to be used in the build/install process, is it possible to have setuptools place these files in a user-defined dir... that'd make it easy to implement the "make clean" equivalent to ensure these files don't show up as being "privtate" files in one's tree.
See the egg_info command options, but please note that "setup.py develop" and "setup.py test" will not work correctly unless the .egg-info directory is in its default location. So, if you can live with that limitation, yes, you can change where the egg-info lives. If not, then the answer is no.
