Sorry for the confusion.
> Did you actually try it?
I am aware that regex works while packaging files. But I want to use regex with
ghost files.
```
%ghost %{python3_sitelib}/__pycache__
%ghost %{python3_sitelib}/__pycache__/*.pyc
```
Both `__pycache__` and the `*.pyc` are not present while the rpm is built and
get created when I import the module after installing the rpm and I want those
newly created pyc files and __pycache__ dir to go away when I remove the
package by using ghost clause.

This. I am trying it out and it doesn't work.

I understand your point, it's just a standard we are following in our distro.
Thanks for the inputs.
