pip not installing non .py files (even though they're packaged in wheel)
I’m successfully packaging my application (wheel) to include all my non-python files in it as well. I did this via the MANIFEST.in file where I do:
include path/to/sql/files/*.sql This works, because after running
python setup.py clean sdist I get a my-app.tar.gz. Unpacking this tar then shows me all the files, including my .sql ones. So far so good.
However, when doing a pip install from our Nexus repository, only the python files show up (even though a manual download from Nexus of the tar contains everything).
Do I need to change anything in my setup.py? I thought the MANIFEST file was enough?
Here is all relevant info from my setup.py:
setuptools.setup( name="my_app", version="1.0.0", packages=setuptools.find_packages(), python_requires='>=3.6') 
Figured it out. I had to include
include_package_data=True, in my setup.py.
Makes the usage of MANIFEST.in a little less attractive now in my opinion.
