I create sample project to explain my trouble.
Sample project source code:
https://bitbucket.org/kwatch/helloworld/src


When 'python setup.py sdist', all files are copied correctly.
https://bitbucket.org/kwatch/helloworld/wiki/python_setup.py_sdist

    $ python setup.py sdist
    ....
    hard linking helloworld/__init__.py -> HelloWorld-0.1.0/helloworld
    hard linking helloworld/foo.py -> HelloWorld-0.1.0/helloworld
    hard linking helloworld/sub/__init__.py -> HelloWorld-0.1.0/helloworld/sub
    hard linking helloworld/sub/bar.py -> HelloWorld-0.1.0/helloworld/sub
    ....


But when 'python setup.py bdist_egg', some files are not copied.
https://bitbucket.org/kwatch/helloworld/wiki/python_setup.py_bdist_egg

    $ python setup.py bdist   # 'helloworld/sub/{__init__,bar}.py' are
not copied!
    ....
    copying build/lib/helloworld/__init__.py ->
build/bdist.macosx-10.4-x86_64/egg/helloworld
    copying build/lib/helloworld/foo.py ->
build/bdist.macosx-10.4-x86_64/egg/helloworld
    ....


Could you help me?
