[22:39:34] <usinganalias> I’ve included a MANIFEST.in with the single line “recursive-include graphics *.txt” and I have include_package_data=True in my setup.py. Nonetheless, when I run python setup.py install, none of the text files in the graphics folder copy over! What might I be doing wrong?

[22:40:27] <aclark> usinganalias: can we see?

[22:41:03] <usinganalias> Sure! aclark - is there a best way to pastebin a folder of code?

[22:41:36] <aclark> usinganalias: nah, preferably check it in to github or something

[22:42:30] <aclark> usinganalias: but ill settle for a paste of setup.py

[22:43:26] <usinganalias> Thanks aclark - getting it pushed to GitHub right now ;)

[22:43:32] <aclark> cool

[22:44:43] <usinganalias> https://github.com/useanalias/namikan

[22:44:59] <usinganalias> You’ll have to forgive me for some amateur programming :)

[22:46:59] <aclark> usinganalias: np, I'm not the code police :-)

[22:47:14] <aclark> usinganalias: i would consider moving graphics inside the package or making graphics a package

[22:48:10] <aclark> (where "namikan" is the package defined in setup.py)

[22:48:21] <usinganalias> Awesome - I’ll do that. So then, would I change my manifest to “recursive-include namikan/graphics *.txt”

[22:48:55] <aclark> recursive-include namikan *.txt

[22:49:16] <aclark> *might* work :-)

[22:50:02] <usinganalias> Awesome - that copied everything into the site-packages folder!

[22:50:12] <usinganalias> Python still doesn’t recognize that the files are there, though…

[22:50:28] <usinganalias> Oh - nvm, made a filename change - it works! Thanks aclark!

[22:50:46] <aclark> usinganalias: great! np

[22:51:21] <usinganalias> Is there a way to remove all the “dist” and “build” folders from a folder using setup.py? (something like pyton setup.py clean?)

[22:51:23] <usinganalias> *python

[22:51:53] <dstufft> python setup.py clean

[22:52:03] <aclark> heh

[22:52:20] <usinganalias> I’ve tried that, and the folders remain there...

[22:52:48] <aclark> usinganalias: dunno, make a makefile or something

[22:58:23] <usinganalias> thanks!
