I want them present in the *installed* egg, not just in the source distribution: setuptools doesn't preserve source distributions after creating / installing the '.egg' version. > Including a file other > that README in the root requires extra effort that I don't want to > require -- writing setup.py files is hard enough as it is. Put the "real" README.txt and CHANGES.txt in the actual package: the version which is a peer of 'setup.py' should be a stub which points to the "real" versions. > I'm not crazy about Tres' idea of putting these files in the Python > packages themselves, but it does have the advantage that it causes > the files to be included in eggs as well as source distributions. Not having those files available after installing is a complete non-starter for me.
