Setuptools only includes data files that are inside a *package* (which is
why it's called "package_data"), or inside the .egg-info directory
(metadata files), as that's the only way to ensure the files are accessible
in all possible installation configurations (egg zips, egg dirs, and
"traditional" installs).

For this configuration, I would suggest that you move the .css file to the
package's .egg-info directory, and use this expression at runtime to
retrieve the contents:
data =
pkg_resources.get_distribution('pycoco').get_metadata('coverage.css')
