Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
tpot could not be built reproducibly.

This is because it ships progress_verbose_1.log and
progress_verbose_2.log under /usr/lib/python3* and the second of these
is not reproducible.

Patch attached that does not ship these files - we probably should not
be shipping logfiles into this directory anyway. I note that you
already prevent a similar test being run with a --exclude argument to
nose(1) but I wasn't sure why you were doing that so did not extend
that to the tests that generate the above files.

You are right, of course -- those files should not be shipped, and even
more so not in that particular directory.

It turns out that lintian even warns about this (and other issues), but
I recently introduced a bug in my alias for it, so *.deb packages were
skipped...

Those tests fail for reasons that have yet to be resolved with upstream.

Thank for pointing this out! Will prepare an upload shortly.
