Where do files included in MANIFEST.in end up?
- by Brian Hicks
I'm not sure if I can't find this or if my google-fu is just lacking at the moment:
I've got some HTML template files included in a package, with the following MANIFEST.in:
recursive-include flockdoc/templates *.html
In development, I'm including these (for Jinja) by doing path calculations, assuming that the "templates" directory is next to a certain file. When the package is installed with setup.py (using setuptools) the templates aren't copied into site-packages with the code.
I understand that they're supposed to be somewhere like dist-packages, but none of the documentation I can find is pointing me to where the actual files are. It's also not giving me "best practice" for including these in my code. Any suggestions would be welcome there.
the setup.py in question
So: where are my files?
