data in a source distribution?
Hi, Is it possible to include data in a source distribution? I'd like to avoid eggs, since they don't integrate well with Gentoo packages, but I didn't find a way to include data in a source distribution (python setup.py sdist). Did I miss something?

You need to specify the data files in your MANIFEST.in file -- the distutils don't do that automatically for you. Of course, if you use setuptools to create your sdist, and the data files are in revision control, they'll be included automatically. Note, too, that you don't have to use setuptools in your setup.py to do this; you only need to import setuptools to generate your sdist, e.g.: python -c "import setuptools; execfile('setup.py')" sdist register upload That command line will generate and upload an sdist using setuptools, but persons installing the package won't get a setuptools-based installation.

Ah - OK. Thank you!

Is there a chance of setuptools recognizing other systems than SVN and cvs? I use Mercurial for all my own projects, and the setuptools don't seem to recognize that yet.

That trick looks neat! Many thanks!

Yes, there is [1].

I created setuptools_hg [2] for that purpose. The bitbucket wiki [3] has a bit more information, too. 1: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools#adding-support-for-other-... 2: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools_hg 3: http://bitbucket.org/jezdez/setuptools_hg/wiki/ Best, Jannis

The first Google result for "setuptools mercurial" is: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/hg.setuptools So, yes. ;-)

Please note "hg.setuptools" is quite old and won't work with Mercurial
1.0. Since the author told me he wouldn't update it anymore I created http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools_hg.

Could you ask the author, if he could add a link into hg.setuptools which points users to setuptools_hg? He said he won't update it anymore, and users should know that.

I stumbled on the "Googling for setuptools plus Mercurial leads to an outdated plugin" problem the other day. I e-mailed the author and asked him to update the page with a link to setuptools_hg, but haven't gotten response yet. Alternatively, people could give a nod to setuptools_hg with a link in their blog, etc. and eventually this should skew the Google ranking :P http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools_hg
