I've updated the documentation, see http://distlib.readthedocs.org/en/latest/reference.html The docs on distlib.util.get_cache_base have the info on the cache and cleanup thereof, including handling of no-home-directory, security implications, open files in Windows etc. I've also updated the distlib.resources.Cache documentation to link to get_cache_base. I've added is_mountable and is_compatible methods to Wheel, and added/ updated the docs for them and the mount() method accordingly, and referenced get_cache_base as the place where extensions are extracted to. More detailed suggestions for improvements are welcome.
