I'm a packaging newbie, but a long-time Python hobbyist programmer and a
longer-time tech writer. I'm planning to help with the cleanup of the
Hitchhiker's Guide.
1. Omit the package_dir option altogether
2. set packages = ['MyProject', 'MyProject.output', 'MyProject.modules']
3. Add an __init__.py in the MyProject directory, to make it the parent
package
All of the above works for me, and now I'm proceeding to include PNG
image files in my project. Here's the project's directory structure:
setup.py
hibye
hibye\__init__.py
hibye\goodbye.py
hibye\hello.py
hibye\png
hibye\png\left_arrow.png
hibye\png\right_arrow.png
hibye\french
hibye\french\__init__.py
hibye\french\aurevoir.py
hibye\french\bonjour.py
hibye\french\french.jpg
And here's my setup.py:
from setuptools import setup
###from distutils.core import setup
###import distribute_setup; distribute_setup.use_setuptools()
setup(name = "hibye",
version = "6.7",
packages = ["hibye", "hibye.french"],
package_data = {
"hibye": ['png/left_arrow.png', 'png/right_arrow.png'],
"hibye.french": ['french.jpg'],
},
)
With this setup, it seems that "python setup.py bdist_egg" includes the
PNG files in the distribution, but "python setup.py sdist" does not. I
need to include a MANIFEST file to have the PNG files included in a
source distribution. Is that the correct functionality? If so, why the
difference?
Note: I'm doing my testing inside a virtualenv, on Win/XP SP3.
Tx,
John
