You're welcome and thanks for paying attention to my non-GNU/Linux
platform.

I'm not using pip.  pkgsrc builds the package in the way that users are
instructed to, more or less, which is setup.py build and then install, I
think.

But, those files are suppressed from the PLIST file.  I think they are
built and installed, but the package is only for the same
OS/version/CPU, so it's ok to share cached builds.  Apparently when
pkgsrc compares PLIST (declared list of what's in the package) to the
destdir it doesn't filter out pycache stuff like normal, so I think
there's nothing actually wrong.

Great, thanks.

Running the installed program, I get a backtrace about
collections_extended.  I see collections-extended in setup.py, but it is
missing from NEWS.  (I'll have to add it to pkgsrc; it seems not in
common use as no package has needed it before.)

(Of course, please don't change the release tarball, but adding a NEWS
item for the next release that mentions it was added in 1.17.0 would be
nice.  This doesn't warrant a 1.17.1, but would have been caught by an
rc if I tested in time.)
