Thanks very much! That was an easy fix on my end. Combining that with a MANIFEST.in file, and the data gets included and installed properly with bdist_egg and sdist. I really appreciate your help. -Roban On Fri, Nov 5, 2010 at 1:06 AM, P.J. Eby <pje@telecommunity.com> wrote:

Can anyone suggest what I need to do to get the package_data files to be installed when easy_install unzips the egg file?

The issue is the '..' in your data file names; currently setuptools.archive_util refuses to extract files with '..' in their path.  I'm going to go ahead and fix this, but even after I do, please note that it will continue to be a problem for versions of easy_install that are out there "in the wild".
