Oops, somehow the formatting I did on the egg structure got messed up.
Here is what it's REALLY supposed to look like :)
mypkg-1.0.0-py2.5.egg/
mypkg/
examples/
example1.py
data1.dat
__init__.py
mypkg.py
README.txt

Hi Uwe,
Do you mean console scripts or just example files? If you set the
'include_package_data' argument to True, all of the data files that
are under version control will be included in your egg. If you want
to have more control over what goes in your egg and where they get
put, you can use the 'data_files' argument, which is a list of
tuples. The first item in the tuple is the relative path inside the
egg where you want your data to be placed. The second item is a
string, or a list of strings, which are paths relative to the root of
your source tree for the files that you want to be placed in the
destination you specified in the first item of the tuple. Here is a
simple example:
If your source tree looks like this:
setup.py
README.txt
examples/
example1.py
data1.dat
mypkg/
__init__.py
mypkg.py
And your 'data_files' argument was this:
data_files = [('', 'README.txt'),
('mypkg/examples', 'examples/*.*')]
Your egg structure should look like this:
mypkg-1.0.0-py2.5.egg/
mypkg/
examples/
example1.py
data1.dat __init__.py
mypkg.py
README.txt
You can also use a glob for the second item in the tuple.

Hi,
I just finished my first egg, but have a question:
How can I distribute example scripts for my
package ???
Greetings, Uwe
