...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 -- Simplistix - Content Management, Batch Processing & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

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. -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org | オープンソースの岩！

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... Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Batch Processing & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

yes you can, http://docs.python.org/distutils/configfile.html

My MANIFEST.in currently contains:

include *

this is suppose to include all file alongside setup.py (but no subdirs) see http://docs.python.org/distutils/configfile.html

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 cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Batch Processing & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

I know! ;-) It's not though...

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.
