+1 for getting rid of version numbers in the dist-info folders.

Hi everyone,

a while now i have wondered - why put version numbers into the dist info
folders
not only makes it lookup more expensive (need to search for a
distribution->folder map)
its also not serving a purpose, as the rest of the package is
unversioned at the root of site-packages.

in addition all those versions in folder names, that serve no purpose,
and create duplication/conflicts now creep into other peps as well,

please lets take a note at setuptools - for editable installs it wont
put a version in to the egg info folder

and imho thats the correct way to deal with data thats not actually
versioned at that level where its being stored.
