Bug Description

Binary package hint: python-pkg-resources

I discovered that a .python-eggs folder was created in my $HOME. It was only filled with tmp files.

Those files should go to $XDG_CACHE_HOME.

If erasing some files could affect the way the computer is working (if egg files there are actually used), they should go in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
