Yes it is, but other options are not better ATM. Including data files in a predictible and simple way is a recurrent problem with distutils. > Does this really not support Windows? It should. I don't remember having problems on windows with MANIFEST.in. There also used to be problems where the MANIFEST was not regenerated correctly - I almost always remove MANIFEST everytime in my setup.py for most of my packages because of this. The problem is known, and is being discussed right now for distribute, so hopefully things will improve.
