You don't need to have both 'include_package_data' and 'package_data={}', because the former is a replacement for the latter that autodetects based on either MANIFEST.in or source control. As long as the file is inside a package and is listed either in the manifest or the source control system, it'll get included.
Great thanks for the answer, I missed that bit..
