It looks like the following setup.py will do what I want, but it won't
install the examples when I use --target:
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
from codecs import open
from os import path
with open(path.join('.', 'README.md'), encoding='utf-8') as f:
long_description = f.read()
setup(
name='kivydnd',
version='0.5.0',
description='Kivy Drag-n-Drop for Widgets',
long_description=long_description,
long_description_content_type='text/markdown',
url='https://github.com/GreyGnome/KivyDnD',
author='GreyGnome',
author_email='mschw...@gmail.com',
license='Apache License 2.0',
keywords='kivy drag-n-drop',
packages=find_packages(exclude=[]),
data_files=[('share/kivydnd-examples',
[
'examples/dndexample1.py',
'examples/dndexample2.py',
'examples/dndexample3.py',
'examples/dndexample_copy_draggable.py',
'examples/dndexample_drop_groups.py',
'examples/dndexample_relative_layout.py',
'examples/example_base_classes.py',
'examples/example_base_classes.pyc',
]
)],
)
