Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
python-biom-format could not be built reproducibly.
This is because it generates different content whether the tests are
run, and, relatedly, it installs an "examples/" directory directly
under dist-packages.
I believe it is this line that is the 'cause':
export PYBUILD_BEFORE_TEST=cp -r {dir}/examples {build_dir}
... and a patch is attached that cleans up with:
export PYBUILD_AFTER_TEST=rm -rf {build_dir}/examples
