python setup.py clean should clean auxiliary files created by running tests, e.g. .pyc files

@riastradh-probcomp, is this the XXX that's referenced in packaging/debian/rules files? https://github.com/probcomp/packaging/blob/master/debian/crosscat/rules

Sounds like a pretty small project.

[riastradh-probcomp]

It's not the same as the Debian packaging issue but it's similar.

The Debian packaging issue is that python setup.py clean does not clean everything that python setup.py build built -- in particular, src/grammar.py, src/grammar.sha256, and src/version.py.

The test issue is that python setup.py clean does not clean everything that ./check.sh or python setup.py test created -- in particular, tests/*.pyc.

Is it hard for clean to clean all those, for some reason?

[riastradh-probcomp]

No, it should be pretty easy, although it would be nice, as a perhaps separate but related issue, if running the tests in a read-only tree worked -- that would obviate the need for python setup.py clean to delete tests/*.pyc.
