So i'm making setuptool package.
To include extra data files in package i need to specefy data_file parameter inside setup().
Code Example:
datadir = os.path.join('share','data')
datafiles = [(datadir, [f for f in glob.glob(os.path.join(datadir, '*'))])]
import metainfo # a file with relevant information
setup(
name = 'yourpackage',
version = metainfo.version,
maintainer = metainfo.maintainer,
maintainer_email = metainfo.maintainer_email,
author = metainfo.authors,
author_email = metainfo.authors,
description = metainfo.description,
keywords = metainfo.keywords,
long_description = metainfo.long_description,
# package installation
packages = find_packages('src'),
package_dir = package_dir,
data_files = datafiles,
}
datafile variable in this example will contain data like this
[('share/data', ['share/data/addon.xml.tmplt', 'share/data/default.py.tmplt'])]
However, my example does not make list of folders and containing files recursively.
I need function which gets as parameter folder_path and returns list of tuple:
[
('share/data', ['share/data/addon.xml.tmplt', 'share/data/default.py.tmplt']),
('share/data/inside', ['share/data/inside/file.iside', 'share/data/inside/file2.inside']),
.........
]

Place the files that you want to include in the package directory (in our case, the data has to reside in the roman/ directory). Add the field include_package_data=True in setup.py. Add the field package_data={'': [... patterns for files you want to include, relative to package dir...]} in setup.py .
The package_data argument is a dictionary that maps from package names to lists of glob patterns. Note that the data files specified using the package_data option neither require to be included within a MANIFEST.in file, nor require to be added by a revision control system plugin.
A manifest file is a text file called MANIFEST.in . Place it in the project's root directory, next to README. txt and setup.py . Manifest files are not Python scripts; they are text files that contain a series of “commands” in a Distutils-defined format.
pkg_resources is a module used to find and manage Python package/version dependencies and access bundled files and resources, including those inside of zipped . egg files.
Use os.walk() to generate that information:
datafiles = [(root, [os.path.join(root, f) for f in files])
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(datadir)]
That'll produce absolute paths; you can process the root variable a little more to make them relative to the setup.py directory if needed.
