Hey Jason,
Thanks for the quick reply. I wasn't able to get around to doing it
this past weekend. I'll try to take a look this weekend.

Hi Jason,
I just started looking at the setuptools repo last night to see if I
could figure out why setuptools doesn't place data_files inside an
sdist and I saw your commit 17f89f4 to teach the sdist command to use
the python 36 compatibility behavior. But it overrides
_add_defaults_data_files()
The discussion started here: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/pull/750
Basically, I don’t understand exactly why that functionality was disabled, but
I give my best guess in that ticket - mainly that I think data_files is
incompatible with encapsulated installs, so I suspect it was explicitly,
