New submission from David Ripton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: distutils.sdist.add_defaults adds the Python modules and scripts and C extensions found in setup.py to the MANIFEST. It does *not* add data_files mentioned in setup.py to the MANIFEST.
This is non-orthogonal and confusing, because it means that a MANIFEST.in is required if you have data_files, optional if you do not. If you have data_files and do not have MANIFEST.in, you get a broken package but no error. ---------- components: Distutils messages: 63475 nosy: dripton severity: normal status: open title: distutils sdist add_defaults does not add data_files type: behavior versions: Python 2.4, Python 2.5, Python 2.6, Python 3.0 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2279> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
