In almost any case I install a Python package via distutils some directories in the package tree are left behind e.g. the docs, licenses, tests etc. I wonder if there is some rationale behind this? Should it be left to the "creative freedom" of the user to copy the docs whereever she wants or is there a dedicated place for them and if any why isn't it simple to declare it in the setup script?
