python - What does pip do with the files in doc directory -

i'm newbie. downloaded markdown tar.gz file pypi. install using pip:

root@machine:/home/user# pip install markdown-2.4.tar.gz  unpacking ./markdown-2.4.tar.gz   running setup.py (path:/tmp/pip-dv31i7-build/setup.py) egg_info package file:///home/irwan/markdown-2.4.tar.gz  installing collected packages: markdown   running setup.py install markdown     changing mode of build/scripts-2.7/markdown_py 644 755     converting docs/release-2.1.1.txt -> build/docs/release-2.1.1.html     converting docs/index.txt -> build/docs/index.html     converting docs/release-2.1.0.txt -> build/docs/release-2.1.0.html     converting docs/release-2.0.2.txt -> build/docs/release-2.0.2.html     converting docs/reference.txt -> build/docs/reference.html     converting docs/release-2.0.txt -> build/docs/release-2.0.html     converting docs/cli.txt -> build/docs/cli.html     converting docs/test_suite.txt -> build/docs/test_suite.html     converting docs/siteindex.txt -> build/docs/siteindex.html     converting docs/release-2.3.txt -> build/docs/release-2.3.html     converting docs/change_log.txt -> build/docs/change_log.html     converting docs/release-2.0.1.txt -> build/docs/release-2.0.1.html     converting docs/release-2.2.0.txt -> build/docs/release-2.2.0.html     converting docs/authors.txt -> build/docs/authors.html 

i cannot find of above text file , html files in filesystem. knows pip copies them to.

thanks in advance

as this answer similar question states, pip doesn't handle documentation generation , installation.

however, particular package generates documentation during build process. don't know if there way make pip not delete temporary build directory, can build package manually:

tar -xzf markdown-2.4.tar.gz cd markdown-2.4/ python setup.py build 

the generated documentation placed build/docs/ directory build report says.
