This isn't really a problem with what you're doing. Rather it's an issue with the toolchain and and open question whether or not wheels should conceptually be able to be produced from a checkout, or if they should only be produced from a sdist. Problems like this are why I advocate the Checkout -> sdist -> wheel being the only path, but others feel differently.

Yes. My MANIFEST.in starts with an 'exclude enum/*' and then includes
all files it wants.

My current process is:

   python3.5 setup.py sdist --format=gztar,zip bdist_wheel upload

What should I be doing instead?
