 > > A tarball with {{{src/allmydata_tahoe.egg-info}}} removed builds fine
 and passes tests. So I conclude that this directory should not be in
 future sdist tarballs. Note that it is standard behaviour of {{{python
 setup.py sdist}}} to include it, but that is probably a bug in
 setuptools/zetuptoolz.

 metadata declaring in machine-readable, standard format some facts about
 the distribution.

 It's regenerated by {{{python setup.py build}}}. We don't include anything
 else that is generated, apart from [source:src/allmydata/_version.py]
 which is only generated when building from a git checkout.
