The net result seems to be that without re-engineering the whole python packaging stack we're stuck with this situation. So, although it pains me greatly to see such filesystem abuse, I think I am minded to say that this shouldn't block mkdocs approval. -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
