Hi all,
Once again I turn to this list for help.
I'm trying to build a ditribution for my python package (Python 2.4).
The package has the following structure:
root
|- __init__.py
|- module1.py
|- ...
|-moduleN.py
|-subpackage1.py
|- __init__.py
|- module1.py
|- ...
|- moduleN.py
|-subpackage2.py
|- __init__.py
|- module1.py
|- ...
|- moduleN.py
|- datadir
|- data1.ext
|- ...
|- dataN.ext
My setup script looks like:
---
from distutils.core import setup
setup(name='root',
version='0.1.0',
modemetadata = 'metadatavalue'
package_dir = {'root': ''},
packages = ['root',
'subpackage1',
'subpackage2'])
----
My problem is including the data contained in root/subpackage2/dir in the
distribution.
I tried using the package_data keyword but couldn't get it right (?). There are
quite a few posts around and they are very contradictory as to whether or not
this works... sic !
Then, I wrote a script MANIFEST.in dile containing:
include root/subpackage2/dir/*
This worked fine for creating the source distribution for Win32 (.zip) using:
python setup.py sdist
but not for the (Win32) build distribution:
python setup.py bdist_wininst
Can anyone point me in the right direction ? Any help would be much appreciated
!
Cheers,
Auré
