That doesn't match the documentation for ‘find_packages’:
find_packages() walks the target directory, filtering by inclusion
patterns, and finds Python packages (any directory).
[…]
the find_packages() function returns a list of package names
suitable for use as the packages argument to setup() […]
<URL:https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/setuptools.html#using-find-packages>
That and other language in that document strongly imply that packages
are the only things found by ‘find_packages’.
The ‘version.py’ module is not within any package, so I infer that
‘find_packages’ should ignore it. Is that wrong?
