[New-bugs-announce] [issue13123] bdist_wininst uninstaller does not remove pycache directories

[Paul Moore]

New submission from Paul Moore <p.f.moore at gmail.com>:

When uninstalling a package installed using a bdist_wininst installer, the uninstall reports "XXX files and directories could not be removed". The problem appears to be the __pycache__ directories introduced in Python 3.2, which are not removed properly.
