If you're creating an sdist then you'll need to create a MANIFEST.in file in the same folder as setup.py with the following contents include share/test_file.txt If you're creating a bdist (egg or wheel) the parameter name you need is package_data={'share': [share/test_file.txt]}, -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
