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).
