Title Body

Here's my stripped-down setup.py script with non-code stuff removed: #!/usr/bin/env python from distutils.core import setup from whyteboard.misc import meta setup( name = 'Whyteboard', version = meta.version, packages = ['whyteboard', 'whyteboard.gui', 'whyteboard.lib', 'whyteboard.lib.pubsub', 'whyteboard.lib.pubsub.core', 'whyteboard.lib.pubsub.utils', 'whyteboard.misc'], py_modules = ['whyteboard'], scripts = ['whyteboard.py'], ) MANIFEST.in: include *.txt include whyteboard-help/*.* recursive-include locale *.mo recursive-include images *.png When I run "python setup.py install sdist" I get a nice .tar.gz with a "whyteboard-0.41" root folder, with my locale/ images/ and whyteboard-help/ folders inside. This also has my whyteboard.py script that launches my program from inside the whyteboard source package. So: whyteboard/ ├── locale/ ├── images ├── whyteboard-help/ ├── whyteboard/ │ ├── __init__.py │ └── other packages etc ├── whyteboard.py ├── README ├── setup.py └── CHANGELOG This mirrors the source of my program, is how everything should be, and is correct. However when I run "python setup.py install" none of my data files are written - only the "whyteboard" source package, and the whyteboard.py is placed in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/. Ideally, I'd like the same directory structure as what's been generated in the .tar.gz file to be created in dist-packages, as this is how my program expects to look for its resources. How can I get "install" to create this directory structure? It seems to be ignoring my manifest file, as far as I can tell.
