The msi installer installs the directory Lib/distutils/test/build and it's subdirs, at least if they are present on the system where the msi is built.

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Why would there be any directories in test/build? The installer picks up all directories in Lib, except for directories named CVS or starting with plat-. This simplifies maintenance, as it removes the need to explicitly change the installer every time a new Python packages is added to Lib.

Logged In: YES user_id=11105 Maybe the distutils/build directory was created because I ran the tests in it, or maybe by other things. I'm lazy and normally build releases from the sandbox where I usually work in, instead of from a fresh checkout. Closing as won't fix.
