Greetings,
I am attempting my first Python contribution and have run into a
speed bump getting a working setup.py using setuptools.
Specifically, I cannot coax it to install my package data files
into the site-packages directory. Here is a link to my project
where my setup.py is available for browsing:
<http://bitbucket.org/kaelin/cuttlefish/>
Soooo close!
How about some sort of description of what you're trying to do...
• Reproduce steps: Clearly mention the steps to reproduce the bug.
• Expected result: How application should behave on above mentioned
steps.
• Actual result: What is the actual result on running above steps
i.e. the bug behavior.
Thanks,
My project has a file (cuttlefish-config.plist) that needs to be
installed next to the module (cuttlefish.py) in the site-packages
directory. There is also a directory (static) containing some html
files and png images that should go in the same place.
I first tried using
include_package_data=True, # Requires setuptools_hg
after installing setuptools_hg to hook setuptools to understand
Mercurial. This got all my data files added to the ...egg-info/
SOURCES.txt and I thought it was good. But then after building an egg
and installing it with easy_setup, all the data files were missing.
I then tried adding a MANIFEST.in file:
---8<---
(Bottle-python2.6)syn:cuttlefish kaelin$ cat MANIFEST.in
include *.plist
graft static
--->8---
Same result: The files are listed in the "manifest" SOURCES.txt, but
not installed.
Here is SOURCES.txt:
