I have a Python package like this (reduced):
├── data
│ └── folder
│ └── file.dat
├── MANIFEST.in
└── setup.py
My setup file includes:
include_package_data = True,
Have a Manifest like this:
include data/folder/file.dat
When I package the project, I have file.dat in there.
Then having package in package index and installing from there, succeeds but with no file.dat anywhere I can find.
I tried
eager_resources = ['data/folder/file.dat']
didn't work.
What do I really need to make sure file.dat is extracted? Where is it extracted when the package from package index is installed?
