There is no 'num.rst' file in the package -- it should be 'enum.rst'.

Any ideas? Is this the right place to post?

This is the right place. Your 'package_data' declaration is getting munged::

/tmp/stone/stoneleaf.enum-1.0.1/build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/setuptools /command/build_py.py(80)build_package_data() -> self.copy_file(os.path.join(src_dir, filename), target) (Pdb) l 75 lastdir = None 76 for package, src_dir, build_dir, filenames in self.data_files: 77 for filename in filenames: 78 target = os.path.join(build_dir, filename) 79 self.mkpath(os.path.dirname(target)) 80 -> self.copy_file(os.path.join(src_dir, filename), target) 81 82 83 def analyze_manifest(self): 84 self.manifest_files = mf = {} 85 if not self.distribution.include_package_data: (Pdb) pp self.data_files [('enum', '', 'build/lib/enum', ['num.rst', 'num.pdf', 'est/test_enum.py', 'est/py2_test_enum.py', 'est/py3_test_enum.py'])]

Looking at the 'build_py' step, this line is problematic: package_dir={'enum':''}, When I change it to: package_dir={'enum':'.'}, then the install succeeds. I would probably just make an 'enum' subdir, move the files into it, and be done with it ('setup.py' isn't logically part of the package: it is in the wrapper).
