Title Body

When I run python setup.py sdist it creates an sdist in my ./dist directory. This includes a "PROJECT-egg.info" file in the zip inside my "dist" folder, which I don't use, but it doesn't hurt me, so I just ignore it. My question is why does it also create a "PROJECT-egg.info" folder in my project root directory? Can I make it stop creating this? If not, can I just delete it immediately after creating the sdist? I'm using the 'setup' function imported from setuptools. WindowsXP, Python2.7, Setuptools 0.6c11, Distribute 0.6.14. My setup config looks like: {'author': 'Jonathan Hartley', 'author_email': 'tartley@tartley.com', 'classifiers': ['Development Status :: 1 - Planning', 'Intended Audience :: Developers', 'License :: OSI Approved :: BSD License', 'Operating System :: Microsoft :: Windows', 'Programming Language :: Python :: 2.7'], 'console': [{'script': 'demo.py'}], 'data_files': [('Microsoft.VC90.CRT', ['..\\lib\\Microsoft.VC90.CRT\\Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest', '..\\lib\\Microsoft.VC90.CRT\\msvcr90.dll'])], 'description': 'Utilities for games and OpenGL graphics, built around Pyglet.\n', 'keywords': '', 'license': 'BSD', 'long_description': "blah blah blah", 'name': 'pygpen', 'options': {'py2exe': {'ascii': True, 'bundle_files': 1, 'dist_dir': 'dist/pygpen-0.1-windows', 'dll_excludes': [], 'excludes': ['_imaging_gif', '_scproxy', 'clr', 'dummy.Process', 'email', 'email.base64mime', 'email.utils', 'email.Utils',
