I am new to distutils.. I am trying to include few data files along with the package.. here is my code..

from distutils.core import setup

setup(name='Scrapper',
      version='1.0',
      description='Scrapper',      
      packages=['app', 'db', 'model', 'util'],
      data_files=[('app', ['app/scrapper.db'])]      
     )

The zip file created after executing python setup.py sdist does not include the scrapper.db file. I have scrapper.db file in the app directory..

thanks for the help.
