I just realized (with the help of Bernhard Herzog) that building directly inside the source folder, instead of using a separate build folder, works without any issues. I can successfully create both a source distribution and a wheel package. Building in a separate folder needs still to be fixed, or at least documented.

I recently tried building a Python source distribution for |gpgmepy| using either |python setup.py sdist| or |make sdist| from the build directory. However, the resulting source tarball is incomplete; it’s missing several necessary files.

You can verify this by running |python -m build|, which builds the package in an isolated environment and highlights the missing components.

To work around this issue, I had to follow the approach described here: https://issues.roundup-tracker.org/msg8362. Unfortunately, due to the custom nature of |gpgmepy|'s build process, I haven't found a clean way to integrate this fix without potentially disrupting workflows that the package maintainers rely on.

One complication is that |setuptools| requires the |MANIFEST.in| file, and the files it references, to be present in the current working directory during packaging.

If anyone has insights into the |gpgmepy| build process or suggestions for integrating a more robust solution, I'd really appreciate the help.
