[Distutils] distutils' sdist won't allow me to include a file called buildout.cfg in my source distribution

...which is kinda annoying :-( The problem is, in Python 2.6.2, line 357 of sdist.py. This ends up applying the following: exclude_pattern: applying regex r'^build\.*' ...which of course chomps buildout.cfg, with no possibility to add it back in MANIFEST.in :-( Where does the bug lie and should I submit a bug tracker issue? cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Batch Processing & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
