Oops, typo: I've tried using<br>
<br>
package_data = {'' : ['*.glade'] }<br>
<br>
in setup.py, not <br>
<br>
package_data = {'' : '['*.glade']}<br>
<br>
as I originally wrote.&nbsp; The problem isn't the typo.<br>

Hey, I'm trying to use setuptools (which looks extremely cool) to
distribute a reasonably simple python package (clipartbrowser on pypi,
if anyone's curious), and am running into difficulty figuring out how
to include some data files.&nbsp; My package is more or less laid out
as follows (based on the example layout provided in Ian's setuptools
presentation):<br>
<br>
clipartbrowser/<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; README<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; COPYING<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ez_setup.py<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; setup.py<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; clipartbrowser/<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; __init__.py<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; browser.py<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; clipartbrowser.glade<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; repositories/<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; __init__.py<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; localocal.py<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; localocal.glade<br>
<br>
I already have the code setup to use pkg_resources to access the data
files (clipartbrowser.glade and localocal.glade), and have tried to
list them under package_data in setup.py several ways (including
&quot;package_data = {'' : '['*.glade']} &quot;&nbsp; ), but they never seem to
be included in the tarball when I use &quot;setup.py sdist&quot;.&nbsp; They are
included when I do &quot;setup.py bdist_egg&quot;, but for now I'd rather
distribute using traditional tarballs.&nbsp; Am I doing something wrong?<br>
<br>
Also, the README is magically included in the sdist tarball no matter
what I do, but I'd like to include COPYING, AUTHORS, etc.&nbsp; Is
there a &quot;correct&quot; way to do this?&nbsp; Thanks,<br><span class="sg">
