Thanks for this. I see no means to set the cache that will be used by wheel.mount. Are you meant to set the global distlib.resources.cache value to a user-created Cache instance if you want to control the location of the cache? Is the default cache created on demand? In other words, if I set up my own cache on application startup, will the %LOCALAPPDATA%\.distlib directory still get created? The reason I ask is that on Windows, there are people who are interested in "portable" applications, which have as near to zero impact on the system as a whole as possible. While I don't have a need to write such applications in Python right now, I am working a lot with such applications at the moment, and I'm more aware than usual of questions such as "does this app leave traces of its presence on the system?" So I don't have an agenda here, I'm just curious.
