Packaging for extensions seems broken

[bjones1]

@rockiger, I haven't really looked into this yet, but here's what I see when installing Enki from setup.py using the master branch.

qt.svg: Cannot open file 'E:/tmp/venv/lib/site-packages/enki/plugins/pluginmanager/plugins.svg', because: The system cannot find the file specified.

Seems odd to me. Are the files present?

Not there!

Steps to reproduce (on Windows -- python runs Python 3 on my PC):

python -m venv venv
venv\scripts\activate
python -m pip install https://github.com/bjones1/enki/archive/master.zip

Hm, I didn't change anything related to the packaging and the files are present. How can that be? Please understand next to nothing about packaging.

[bjones1]

@rockiger, I understand. Packaging is a deep, dark hole and one area that Python is weak in. Taking a wild guess, perhaps adding package_data['enki'].append('plugins/%s/*.svg' % name) to setup.py around line 105 would fix it.
