We can end this discussion. Upstream (the experts) replied to my bug report[1]. They are going to delete the entire foo.egg-info directory (on setup.py clean). setuptools/distribute at the moment doesn't have any cleanup functionality. setup.py clean currently is from python's (standard library module) distutils and hence doesn't clean up after setuptools/distribute's additions/mess. --Adam [1] http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/122/setuppy-clean-should-delete-sourcestxt
