Hi Cleber,

Here is the output:
>>> import pkg_resources
>>> pkg_resources.get_distribution('avocado-framework')
avocado-framework 68.0
(/mnt/us/testutils/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages)

[root at kindle scripts]# cd
/mnt/us/testutils/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages
[root at kindle site-packages]# find . -name "avocado*-info"
./avocado_framework-68.0-py2.7.egg-info

I did not see something like *.dist-info in this folder.

Thanks,
Junchao
