The pylib/wscript has been changed so that the egg-info, and all .py files in 
pylib are installed in PYTHONDIR (see MR 1450)

TLDR PYTHONDIR == PYTHONARCHDIR unless running wad-2.0 under Python 3.
PYTHONARCHDIR is where the extension goes when --enable-pylib=ext

The code has changed, behavior is not noticeably  different than it was before.

Only if you want to wait for the egg-info to wheel info change.

I would not wait on that change or sock reflcock.

Release it already. Gary? Matt? Anyone lurking in the rafters?
