Yes, that does seems to be the problem. For now I was able move the large directory out of the project directory and put a symlink in the project directory pointing to it. It appears that pip/setuptools doesn't follow symlinks thankfully. Not ideal but workable for now.

It is not supposed to be part of the package and it is not mentioned in setup.py. The problem is when I run the install command above it takes many minutes to finish. When I move the project/data/ sub-directory out of the project/ directory, it takes a few seconds. I thought perhaps that "packages=setuptools.find_packages()" in my setup.py file might be the culprit but replacing in with "packages=['mypackage']" made no difference. I'm not sure why pip seems to be roaming through project/data/ (if that's what's happening) but is there some way to get it not to? My apologies if this is covered in the docs somewhere; I'm still going though them but didn't see anything with an initial scan. If it helps, here is my setup.py file: setuptools.setup ( name="mypackage", version="...", author="Me", author_email="...", description="...", long_description="...", long_description_content_type="text/markdown", url="...", packages=['mypackage'], package_data={'mypackage': ['data/*.csv', 'tmpl/*.jinja',]}, zip_safe = False, classifiers=[...], python_requires='>=3.6', install_requires = ['jinja2',], ) Thanks for any enlightenment.
