I want to package .json files as well in the python egg file.
For example: boto package has endpoints.json file. But when I run python setup.py bdist_egg it does not include the json file in the egg. How do I include the Json file in the egg?
How do I include *.json file in the egg?
Below is the setup.py code
from setuptools import setup, find_packages, Extension
setup(
name='X-py-backend',
version='tip',
description='X Python backend tools',
author='meme',
packages=find_packages('python'),
package_dir={'': 'python'},
data_files=[('boto', ['python/boto/endpoints.json'])],
namespace_packages = ['br'],
zip_safe=True,
)
setup(
name='X-py-backend',
version='tip',
packages=find_packages('protobuf/target/python'),
package_dir={'': 'protobuf/target/python'},
namespace_packages = ['br'],
zip_safe=True,
)
You only need to list the file on data_files
parameter. Here is the example.
setup(
name='X-py-backend',
version='tip',
description='XXX Python backend tools',
author='meme',
packages=find_packages('python'),
package_dir={'': 'python'},
data_files=[('boto', ['boto/*.json'])]
namespace_packages = ['br'],
zip_safe=True
)
You can see the details here. https://docs.python.org/2/distutils/setupscript.html#installing-additional-files
Another way to do this is to use MANIFEST.in
files. you need to create a MANIFEST.in
file in your project root. Here is the example.
include python/boto/endpoints.json
