+Tag: package-installs-python-pycache-dir
+Severity: error
+Check: languages/python
+See-Also: python-policy 3.7
+Explanation: The package installs a __pycache__
+ directory, which is normally
+ only used to store compiled Python source files. Compiled Python
+ source files must not be included in the package, instead they
+ should be generated at installation time in the postinst.
+ .
+ Note this tag is issues even if the directory is empty.
