Some comments:
"MANIFEST.in is fine"
Except that it introduces Yet Another Domain Specific Language. Wtf does "prune" mean? It's not obvious. The docs indicate that it actually excludes, but why it's not called "exclude" is then strange. We already have a language, Python. We don't need more. ;-)
And the fact that is uses a separate file doesn't help.
Yes, I know I'm just whining. But I don't agree that MANIFEST.in is fine. I think it is unfine. :)
I agree with this. Remember: I wanted to deprecate MANIFEST.in in favor of a pure python description. Then people strongly objected. Tarek
