Hello, >>> The docs seems to suggest you can override the default name MANIFEST.in, >> Correct.

That’s definitely lacking, I’ll add the other options to that section. >>> however, I cannot seem to find an option or parameter to do so. >> Manifests and manifests templates are only used by the sdist command. >> If you run “python setup.py sdist -h”, you’ll find the --template/-t option. > I am trying to run sdist throught distrubute or setuptools, I didn';t see that > options.

From a quick look at the code setuptools’ sdist command ignores MANIFEST.in and MANIFEST altogether and takes the list of files from the version control system.
