Hi All,
I'm trying to figure out why my package_data is being ignored. Of
course,
setuptools ends up being an egg, so it's impossible to pdb through.
So, I thought I'd checkout the setuptools trunk and just use that
instead.
But where is it?
The closest I could find is:
http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/trunk/setuptools
...but this has no tags, branches, etc. So is this it?
Yes. The branches are in /sandbox/branches.
(Btw, 'package_data' will cause things to get included at install
time, but
it does not put them into sdist. You'll need to use MANIFEST.in or a
revision-control plugin to get data files included in an sdist.)
At distutils level, that's not true anymore with the current distutils
trunk though, which includes
package_data files without having to put them in the MANIFEST template
Interesting. I didn't realize that this changed. This works at least
as far back as Python 2.4, so if it changed, it changed some time
ago. Of course, the documentation:
http://docs.python.org/distutils/setupscript.html#installing-package-data
indicates it should work. It also indicates that this option is new in
Python 2.4.
