setuptools-parcels

=================

An alternative syntaxt to setuptools package_data argument.

Improvements over package_data include:

* simple way to include all non-python files found in packages

.. note::

   An alternative way to work around specifying package_data is to

   specify the files you would like in distutil's MANIFEST.in, and use the

   include_package_data argument:

   http://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html#including-data-files

   If your goal is to include whatever MANIFEST.in specifies into the

   installed package, this alternative will work fine.

-----

Usage

-----

You can use setuptools-parcels by including it in your setup.py, as an

additional argument to setup`s setup_requires function, and an

additional parcels parameter:

.. code:: python

    setup(...

          # add it here

          setup_requires=["setuptools-parcels", "vcver"],

          # an argument with the same name as the extension (in this case the extension is parcels).

          # this is required to activate setuptools-parcels.

          parcels={}

    )

Without any configuration, parcels will search through all packages,

find any non-python files, and include those.

If the package_data is present, parcels will merge it's additions with

the existing values.
