Hi. I'm trying to distribute a piece of software and I'm able to get
distutils to package all of my *.py modules, which are in a single
package, correctly. However, I've been unable to get it to package
any of the data files. I wrote the following setup.py file:
setup(name='pychinko',
version='0.1',
...
packages=['pychinko'],
data_files = [('ruletests/rules', ['ruletests/rules/spoRules.n3'])],
package_dir = {'pychinko': '.'},
package_data = {'pychinko': ['ruletests/rules/spoRules.n3']})
But both data_files and package_data lines (and some variations on
them) are ignored when I run "python setup.py sdist". The pychinko package is
included correctly, but none of the data files are. When it's
packaged I get something like:
creating pychinko-0.1
making hard links in pychinko-0.1...
hard linking setup.py -> pychinko-0.1
hard linking ./__init__.py -> pychinko-0.1/.
hard linking ./afon.py -> pychinko-0.1/.
hard linking ./builtins.py -> pychinko-0.1/.
hard linking ./config.py -> pychinko-0.1/.
...
But again, no data files at all. Any idea what could be doing this?
My dir structure looks something like this:
pychinko/
setup.py
foo.py
bar.py
...
ruletests/
rules/
...
Thanks a lot, appreciate your help,
