At the PyCon sprints, Matthias Klose and I worked up a recommendation for data files which are not supposed to be included with the software. The substance was to add commands for the different groups, and then add support for enumerating those files in setup.cfg: --install-docs --install-locales --install-tests The '--install-data' command could call these, I suppose, and should likely avoid picking up any file which they claimed.
