# Python sample package with data
How to distribute a Python package with data.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3596979/manifest-in-ignored-on-python-setup-py-install-no-data-files-installed/60735402#60735402
Tested on Ubuntu 19.10, Python 3.7.5, wheel==0.32.3, setuptools==41.1.0, twine==3.1.1.
How end users use the package from :
```
python3 -m pip install --user python-sample-package-with-data
python-sample-package-with-data
```
Expected output:
```
hello data
```
which are the contents of our test data file [python_sample_package_with_data/mydata.txt](python_sample_package_with_data/mydata.txt) that was distributed with `pip`.
How maintainers publish it:
```
# One time setup.
python3 -m pip install --user setuptools wheel twine
# Every time you want to publish.
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
twine upload dist/*
rm -rf build dist *.egg-info
```
