The .so is copied into lib-dynload, the .py/.pyc inside the zipfile are special loader scripts that will load the extension from lib-dynload. This is needed because extensions cannot be in the zipfile. > > 2.

This is done because setuptools allows you to have such data, and without copying data files some python software don't work. Why do you have files in your python package directory that aren't needed to run the software?
