Manifest.in, Package_data, And Data_files Clarification?

I am trying to create a Python package, and I have a directory structure like this: mypkg/ ├── __init__.py ├── module1 │   ├── x.py │   ├── y.py │

Solution 1:

Try using setuptools instead of distutils.

Solution 2:

Update: It got fixed when I started using setuptools instead of distutils.core. I think it was some problem with distutils not agreeing with manifest while setuptools worked without any changes in the code. I recommend using setuptools in the future.
