Ok so, in version 1.2 of your package, you use the implicit way (VCS based) then you introduce a new file, that forces your to be explicit in 1.3 so you use setup.py then in 1.4 you're back in an implicit list... this is not a long-term solution indeed. > I don't see why you should be forced > to explicitly declare every file in the setup.py, a sensible default > is not a problem. With glob-style patterns this is not a burden at all. and it's all in clear text there, not depending on any magic.
