Hi, Sorry, it took me a while to figure this one out.

[1/1] Cythonizing libzim/wrapper.pyx
This seems to be the issue, it is running Cython during the clean step, which dirties source tree, ironic. I codesearched and found that other packages modify setup.py to skip cythonize during clean and other steps, e.g. https://github.com/Unidata/cftime/issues/91. Will work on a patch for this and upstream it.
