I believe the current standard way to distribute a LICENSE file with a package is to add "include LICENSE" (or whatever the filename is) to MANIFEST.in (which adds the file to the sdist) and add "license_file = LICENSE" (or other filename) to the [metadata] section of setup.cfg (which adds the file to the .dist-info directory of the wheel). -- Distutils-SIG mailing list -- distutils-sig@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to distutils-sig-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mm3/mailman3/lists/distutils-sig.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/mm3/archives/list/distutils-sig@python.org/message/S2HILR23CLVSJ3722PVC73V3FYCWCTZL/
