I created a python package using setup tools, and it installs fine, but when I try to clean (using verbose mode) the following message shows and nothing is cleaned (the build and dist directories are NOT removed):

running clean
'build/temp.linux-i686-2.7' does not exist -- can't clean it

The contents of the build package are the following:

bdist.linux-i686  lib.linux-i686-2.7

So my question is, why doesn’t this temp.linux-i686-2.7 folder exist? Should it? Why does clean think it should be there?

By the way, my setup.py file is very simple, I just copied supervisord’s file (https://github.com/Supervisor/supervisor/blob/master/setup.py) and modified just the names.

    The ‘build/temp.linux-i686-2.7’ is one of the normal place for .py and .so files to be stored if you do:

    python setup.py build

    THat is probably why it try to cleans it, just to be sure. Without verbose you don’t get that warning.
