I noticed in the documentation it said that setuptools can find files based on version control when creating source distributions. This almost never applies to my packages (at least the well made ones ;) because I have html files generated from txt sources, and I like to include the html. Is there any way to tell setuptools to add certain files, but still automatically detect everything else? It seemed to do an okay job when I created a MANIFEST.in with everything but "recursive-include . *.html" commented out, but there might be something I'm missing about it. Additionally, it would be nice to be able to exclude files, like files I use for internal package administration, or large svn externals which should be separate packages. -- Ian Bicking / ianb@colorstudy.com / http://blog.ianbicking.org
