It does depend considerably on how you do the install. For example, to replicate what pip does (to get the data files installed) you have to do: python setup.py install --single-version-externally-managed --record=/dev/null I don't find I need to do that with pybuild though. I find setuptools handling of data files highly mysterious and counter-intuitive, so I doubt I'll have more specific advice. Scott K
