Jason R. Coombs added the comment:
Although the code was ported from setuptools, it wasn't ported from the long
stable implementation, but was ported following the recent refactor, which had
a
[regression](https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issues/425/odd-failure-on-183-missing-files-but-they)
revealing that the [docstring no longer matched the
implementation](https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/commits/72ec36bea07c7dd1cf48e20894864e8a4e1b480f).
The latest implementation provides [a more elegant
approach](https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/src/738b139f3016a05084c9f34c6364d7d20b3aac9d/setuptools/__init__.py?fileviewer=file-view-default#__init__.py-154),
but continues to maintain the expectation of the setuptools implementation.
I still need to address Eric's question about what filelists are affected, but
also now update the patch to ensure that the disparity between findall('.') and
findall(anything_else) is captured.
