I've a project which needs to install different data files depending on what platform the project is being installed on - e.g. win32, linux2, darwin. Using packaging setup.cfg, how can I indicate different files for different platforms, as well as some common files for all platforms? It's easy enough to do with setup.py, of course.
It doesn't seem possible to use project-specific Python files to do this (via setup_hooks, for example), as when pysetup3 runs, the project directory is not in sys.path, so you can't import anything from e.g. files adjacent to setup.cfg. Although my current need is for data files, there might be situations where different packages need installing for different platforms (e.g. having shim or adapter functionality). What's the official packaging solution for this?
