My spotting of them was sometime after running a "BasicSanityCheck". While doing a later "pkgrm", which ought to have removed the software including the subdirectories (and which usually successfully did so), it was unable to remove a couple of subdirs because they were non-empty. This turned out to be newly created ".pyo" or ".pyc" files (I forget which). That was my context, at least. YMMV. Hope that helps. -- : David Lee I.T.
