Use package_data instead; it should do the right thing with both distutils and setuptools. (It is available in the distutils as of Python 2.4; for 2.3 you'd have to use setuptools.)

Can package_data include files which aren't in the source tree?  I naively
tried
   package_data = {
       'OpenSSL': ['C:/OpenSSL/ssleay32.dll',
                   'C:/OpenSSL/libeay32.dll']}


Hmm.  Actually, I then tried various other spellings, using only relative
paths, and was unable to get these DLLs into the egg using any of them.  I
wonder if I am missing something fundamental about how package_data is
interpreted.

A couple other values I tried:

 package_data = {'': ['ssleay32.dll', 'libeay32.dll']}

 package_data = {'OpenSSL': ['ssleay32.dll', 'libeay32.dll']}

Any tips?

Thanks,

Jean-Paul
