Re: [Distutils] Installing (data-)files in package directories

Ah yes, this looks quite nice (I'm looking into PyXML-0.8.3.tar.gz). And the trick is to reuse distutils' useless (?) install_data command ;-).

talking about data, I believe there's still a bug in the sdist command that causes data files not to be put into a distro by default, i.e. when no MANIFEST[.in] is provided. Regards, Stefan
