No quite, because the MANIFEST.in template allows you to exclude some files, and to do recursive operations.

I am not sure about the recursion yet though. -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
