Hi,

i'm new to this list. I hope this question is pertinent to the list, if not
please address me to a more appropriate one.

I'd like to understand what is the preferred way to cope with demo
examples/directory while packaging.

I have a classic structure

  sqlkit-N.n/
            sqlkit/
            setup.py
            MANIFEST.in
            demo/

My goal would be to have a setup so that 'python setup.py sdist' would
package also the demo, so that 'python setup.py sdist upload' could be all I
need to do to publish it. Is this a reasonable goal?

Yes.  Just include demo in your MANIFEST.in.


 I ask this as I
wouldn't know where to place the demo in the target installation.

Well, if you just want to package it in the sdist, you don't need to have a place to install it. If the user wants to run the demo, they can just run it from the unpacked sdist, no?
