I'm working on a package that includes some files that are meant to be copied and edited by people using the package.
My project is named "pitz" and it is a bugtracker. Instead of using a config file to set the options for a project, I want to use python files. When somebody installs pitz, I want to save some .py files somewhere so that when they run my pitz-setup script, I can go find those .py files and copy them into their working directory. I have two questions: 1. Do I need to write my setup.py file to specify that the .py files in particular directory need to be treated like data, not code? For example, I don't want the installer to hide those files inside an egg. 2. How can I find those .py files later and copy them? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
