# `package-installs-legacy-python-egg-info`

The package installs `.egg-info` directory. The modern replacement for `.egg-info` is `.dist-info`. That means the package was possibly built using the deprecated `setup.py install` mechanism. This should be usually converted to `pybuild-plugin-pyproject`.

Severity: | `info`
Experimental: | `false`
