[IPython-dev] MANIFEST.in griefs

[Ville Vainio]

Setuptools route installation fails on Windows XP when manifest.in
file exists (after deleting manifest.in, it works ok):

@v-v1ob9xeen3rdb[IPython]|25> python eggsetup.py install
['eggsetup.py', 'install']
running install
running bdist_egg
running egg_info
creating ipython.egg-info
writing ipython.egg-info\PKG-INFO
writing top-level names to ipython.egg-info\top_level.txt
writing entry points to ipython.egg-info\entry_points.txt
reading manifest template 'MANIFEST.in'

Is the manifest.in only used for source distribution, i.e. could it be
renamed and only created for "sdist"? Or could it be edited to get
around this problem?
