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

You can disable the prune option with --no-prune
you can also uset the the MANIFEST.in template file to define what's in your distribution.
That's for distutils. Beware that if you use Subversion and setuptools, it doesn't work the same way depending on what you've included in your repo, but at the end MANIFEST.in has the last word if you use it.

Let me add an example :
""" include buildout.cfg include README.txt recursive-include src *.py """

To what? the sdist command? Can I put that in setup.cfg somewhere?

My MANIFEST.in currently contains:
include *

I've tried with distutils, setuptools and distribute. All exhibit the same behaviour...

yes you can, http://docs.python.org/distutils/configfile.html
you can also uset the the MANIFEST.in template file to define what's in your distribution.
My MANIFEST.in currently contains:
include *
this is suppose to include all file alongside setup.py (but no subdirs)

I know! ;-)
It's not though...
Using disutils and with the following MANIFEST.in and DISTUTILS_DEBUG=true in the environment:
Distribution.parse_config_files(): options (after parsing config files): no commands known yet options (after parsing command line): option dict for 'sdist' command: {} running sdist Distribution.get_command_obj(): creating 'sdist' command object checking if setup.py newer than MANIFEST warning: sdist: standard file not found: should have one of README, README.txt Distribution.get_command_obj(): creating 'build_py' command object Distribution.get_command_obj(): creating 'build' command object reading manifest template 'MANIFEST.in' include buildout.cfg include_pattern: applying regex r'^buildout.cfg$' adding buildout.cfg exclude_pattern: applying regex r'^build.*' removing buildout.cfg
d'oh!

I tested and it works for me with distutils@2.6 and I tried with the current trunk:
MANIFEST.in: include buildout.cfg
setup.py: from distutils.core import setup setup(name='ok')
resulting MANIFEST, by calling "python setup.py sdist" """ buildout.cfg setup.py """
I need to see the content of your setup.py, there must be an interaction with something else.

Maybe you have soem .rc file somewhere that distutils is picking up?

That's you python 2.5
Distribution.get_command_obj(): creating 'build' command object exclude_pattern: applying regex r'^build.*' removing buildout.cfg
That must be a win32 specific bug then on the way globs are translated (\ should be escaped) with regular expressions. the exclude built on my mac os is :
'^build/.*'
which is correct. I will try on a vmware as soon I get a chance,
Until then you can fill an issue in bugs.python.org. I'll fix it as soon as I have a failing example in a unit test

Sorry, yes, forgot to use 2.6 for those first two bits, doesn't make any difference...

Well, aside from the hassle this causes with having to manually exclude all the .svn files and the like, it also doesn't work on setuptools or distribute:
bin/docpy setup.py sdist --no-prune usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...] or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...] or: setup.py --help-commands or: setup.py cmd --help
error: option --no-prune not recognized
