Add post-clean command to python setup.py

From resources online, I've learned that the following will add a "post-install" hook if included in setup.py:

from  setuptools  import  setup
from  setuptools.command.install  import  install  as  _install
class  install(_install):
     def  run(self):
         _install.run(self)
         # Do something magical
setup(cmdclass={'install': install})

What I'd like to do, though, is create equivalent behavior after a setup.py clean is executed. Specifically, I'd like setup.py clean to remove the .egg-INFO directory created during the execution of setup.py egg_info.

This is unrelated to my request. – Kalle Richter Aug 30 '15 at 15:51
Oh I thought you wanted a reference to where I learned an answer, but I don't have one. – jwir3 Aug 30 '15 at 15:52
I asked where _you_ learned this. If you don't want to answer to a comment or read it thoughtfully - it's not obligatory -, please don't comment at all, it just creates work for people who need to clean up this comment section. – Kalle Richter Aug 30 '15 at 15:57
Well, you're creating more work for myself when you don't do your due diligence to research the topic to begin with. – jwir3 Aug 30 '15 at 15:58
