Hi,
Is it possible to include data in a source distribution?
You need to specify the data files in your MANIFEST.in file -- the
distutils don't do that automatically for you.
Of course, if you use setuptools to create your sdist, and the data
files are in revision control, they'll be included
automatically. Note, too, that you don't have to use setuptools in
your setup.py to do this; you only need to import setuptools to
generate your sdist, e.g.:
python -c "import setuptools; execfile('setup.py')" sdist register upload
That command line will generate and upload an sdist using setuptools,
but persons installing the package won't get a setuptools-based installation.
