distutils sdist and MANIFEST files

D

David Fraser

Hi

Does anyone else find it annoying that the sdist command for distutils
relies on MANIFEST.in and MANIFEST files?
I would really like to be able to do everything in the setup script ; if
I don't, the MANIFEST files get created automatically (with warnings)
and any new scripts added are forgotten.

Any alternative approaches to this?

You can derive from the sdist command and override the read_template
function.
