Hi,I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, anyway, I want to copy the content of a directory included in a package generated with ./setup sdist to a certain destination. What I did is to add something like this to my setup.py: data_files = [('etc/foo/www/', [ 'dashboard/*' ])] Just to put things into a context: the directory dashboard contains a number of html files that are served by my application. I cannot list all the files one by one because are too many, but also the apprach that I'm using does not work and produce the following error: error: can't copy dashboard/*: doesn't not exist or not a regular file Any suggestions?
data_files = [('etc/foo/www/', ['dashboard/'+f for f in os.listdir('dashboard')])]
(I would also question the idea of targeting installation directories in this way for a general-use package, but that's a separate issue.)
