Why does pip always display warnings?

Question

Why does pip always display warnings when installing packages? For example, I just installed nodeenv and got a bunch of them:

warning: no previously-included files found matching '*.pyc' warning: no previously-included files found matching '*.swp' 

This is not a problem, the packages I install work fine. I'm just wondering why these warnings occur, what they mean, and if they can be hidden in some way without stifling important errors.

He does not do this for me ... and, looking at the source, I do not think it will be for anyone in the future.

As you can see here , these warnings were removed in December 2014. It would seem that they would be called for cases where the manifest directive was excessively cautious and excluded files that were not actually included.
