Description

```setup.py --record plist install``` is supposed to record all installed files into the file ```plist```.

However, this file only gets 363 files of 708 actually installed files.

 

The FreeBSD ports system relies on python's ```--record plist``` feature for autoplist in port.

Research direction

Start by locating the setup.py install path that handles `--record plist` and compare the recorded entries with the files installed by the same command. Reproduce the reported `setup.py --record plist install` case, then verify that the plist contains all installed files rather than only 363 of 708.
