He has one in the macster/ path but not in the root repo... I thought Finder put them everywhere...
Why would you want this if you are not on a Mac? The only point in the files is telling Finder how to lay out the folder's contents. Some people (like me) go out of the way to hide them.
I want the T-shirt!
I'd like it better if Mac users stopped obnixiously including __MACOSX directories and files, which conflict when extracting, in their zip archives.
Blame Apple. The Finder does that when creating .zip archives.
There needs to be files named ._README.md, ._setup.py, and ._tests.py to complete the package.
Bravo. I love seeing those files and the __MACOSX folder in zips. Especially when it's a (relatively) big open source project. I just chuckle, I've owned several Macs, they're a parasite.
Or you could just do

    find -type d -exec touch {}/.DS_Store \;
He forgot to put .DS_Store files in his .gitignore.

As a windows user, I refer to these things as "mac turds" when I see them on network shares.
