I don't know on setuptools side, but in distutils, I don't think there's any way to include an empty directory like this, even with a graft in the MANIFEST.in file. The commands are looking for files to include, then create the necessary directories in the distribution, to include those files Can't you add a README.txt file in that directory ? What is the use case to include an empty directory in a release ? Regards Tarek On Sat, Jan 24, 2009 at 2:40 AM, Domen Kožar <iElectric@gmail.com> wrote:

package_data={'data':['templates/*tmpl']}
this includes all the files, but there is data/templates/Test directory that is empty and there is no way of globing it. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
