Hi,

i'm curious: why do some plugins have a __pycache__ directory and some don't?

When python3 code is run, the python interpreter creates a cache of the pyc files to speed up future runs. If deleted or outdated or etc they will be recreated by the python interpreter.

Many plugins forget to remove it before creating the plugin .zip. It will not hurt anything.
