I've got a package that includes an extension that has a number of header files in the directory with the extension. They are specified as "depends = [...]" in the Extension class. However, Distutils doesn't seem to do anything with them.
If I do an sdist, the include files aren't added to the tarball.
IIRC you need to add a MANIFEST.IN file to get non-Python files (including those already referenced in your setup.py) in the mix. You'll propably need a MANIFEST.IN looking something like the following:
include *.txt include MANIFEST.in include setup.py include setup.cfg
recursive-include src *.c *.h recursive-include docs *.html *.css *.gif *.jpg *.txt
prune someolddir

If I do a bdist_rpm, the source files get copied into the build directory and the build starts, but the header files aren't copied with the source file, so the build fails with a missing header file.
I find it hard to believe that this is a bug in distutils, so I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks, <mike
