Hi, I'm sorry, I just noticed this issue. It's been a long time. Just checked with master branch, this issue is not fixed yet. To be clear, "data files", I mean, are any other files except Python source files, such as Dockerfiles.*, *.txt, MAINTAINERS, *.md. Can this issue be reopen, or let me file a new one?
@tkdchen Makes sense to add some docs to the Python installation!
We've discussed this a bit, but we think that we should add:
- Docs (.md files)
- License, maintainers, etc. (.txt files)
- Dockerfiles (maybe this is outside of the the scope of the installation files)
Is there anything else that should be added / removed?
@cdrage IMO, source distribution package should contain all files.
The binary distribution package generated by python setup.py bdist, and the installation as well, should contain Python modules at least. Regarding the *.md, docs/ and *.txt files, SPEC file instead of setup.py may be a better place to install them by %doc
