Comment (by stumbles):
Also, I just noticed that while the templates directory is included in the
package, it's not installed when I run `python setup.py install`.
After some hunting, I learnt that one way to ensure the templates are
installed is to use `packages=setuptools.find_packages()` and
`include_package_data=True` in my setup.py file as follows:
{{{
from distutils.core import setup
from setuptools import find_packages
setup(
name='django-polls',
version='0.1',
packages=find_packages(),
license='',
long_description=open('README.txt').read(),
url='http://www.example.com/',
author='Your Name',
author_email='yourn...@example.com',
include_package_data=True,
)
}}}
Is this the approach you would recommend? I'm not very experienced with
packaging and noticed that the install behaved differently using after
making these changes -- the installed files ended up in
`django_polls-0.1-py2.7.egg` and `easy-install.pth` rather than the
previous `polls` and `django_polls-0.1.egg-info`.
