For example, if test_spam is in a separate package:
setup.py
src/
spam/
__init__.py
other-files.py
test_spam/
__init__.py
test_spam.py
data/
test_data.dat
setup.py:
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
setup(
# ...
packages = find_packages('src'), # include all packages under src
package_dir = {'':'src'}, # tell distutils packages are under src
package_data = {
# include any *.dat files found in the 'data' subdirectory
# of the 'test_spam' package:
'test_spam': ['data/*.dat'],
}
)
