[New-bugs-announce] [issue10645] egg-info file in lib-dynload

[Ronald Oussoren]

New submission from Ronald Oussoren <ronaldoussoren at mac.com>:

I just noticed that distutils creates an egg-info for the stdlib while installing Python.

This definitely happens for Python 2.7 and Python 3.2 (both framework builds on OSX).

In lib-dynload there is and egg-info file: "Python-2.7.1-py2.7.egg-info" 

Is this intentional? 

If it is: the OSX installer does not remove older versions when installing an upgrade (that is, I also have egg-info files for Python-2.7 and several pre-releases)
