I'm trying to build a python package but my setup.py is actually named pkg1_setup.py (this is because I have multiple packages in the same repo).

The package built is *almost* fine, except that setup.py is not included in the package built. I understand that the *normal* structure would be to have something like this:

* setup.py

* mypackage\...

but before refactoring the repository structure to accommodate that I'd like to validate that there is no other way of doing that. I tried using the script_name parameter to setuptools.setup but had no luck.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot
