Thanks for raising this. I agree that's strange.

@stolarczyk did you have a reason for adding the /tests folder to the MANIFEST.in?

https://github.com/pepkit/peppy/blob/a8becea34be9d8947c43b445bc881855770679c5/MANIFEST.in#L5

[stolarczyk]

I may have had a reason initially, but it's probably no longer valid. I second the suggestion for removal.

[jlumpe]

I don't think this is just a question of MANIFEST.in, as these are modules and not just data files. Pretty sure the issue is setup.py L43, setuptools.find_packages() will include tests/ as it contains an __init__.py. I believe setuptools has default behavior to exclude common directories like tests/, docs/ etc from package discovery but only if you don't provide values for any of the package discovery options. Solution would be to remove that line entirely or change to find_packages(exclude=['tests', 'tests.*']).

[nsheff]

or, even better, just use packages=['peppy'], since this will only ever hold a single package.

Thanks for pointing that out.

[jlumpe]

@nsheff or packages=['peppy', 'peppy.*'] if you have any subpackages (not sure why setuptools doesn't provide an easy way to combine those).
