I'm having trouble bundling any kind of data (non-Python code) in my egg.
Here are the file contents of my source directory:
hello.py (cheesy script)
README.txt
MANIFEST.in (has one line, "include *.txt")
setup.py, which looks like:
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
setup(
name = "HelloWorld",
version = "0.1",
scripts=['hello.py'],
include_package_data = True
)
I'm creating the egg with python setup.py bdist_egg.
I would expect that README.txt should appear in the egg somewhere,
but it doesn't.
What am I missing?
README.txt isn't in a package, so it's not "package data". And
MANIFEST.in determines what goes in your *source* distribution, not
your binary distribution.
