Why not merge package_files and package_patterns into one list. Then use glob.glob() to work this into a list of single filenames.
There's a potential problem here if I want to include the *.cfg files in the package/ directory but not in package/example/. Maybe that doesn't matter.
Hmm, globbing 'package/*.cfg' should only include files in the package dir.
The downside with this proposal is that you'll have to add MANIFEST.in rules for these files as well...
The sdist.add_defaults() method automatically includes README{.txt}, setup.py, and any referenced *.py files in the manifest; clearly if we add additional patterns, add_defaults() should automatically include matching files in the manifest.
I was referring to any files that a package author adds to the package via package_files (beyond the default ones like README); he would have to add the same globbing patterns to MANIFEST.in in order to have them included in the sdist. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Software directly from the Source (#1, Mar 03 2003)
