MANIFEST.in missing
jhermann opened this issue · comments
You need a MANIFEST.in like follows:
include README.rst
Else pip won't install sdists, since you read that file in setup.py and it's not there.
This should only be needed for README files that use an alternate extension, such as README.md files. Setuptools will always look for and include README, README.rst or README.txt: https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/src/0515c3914a7a323fe7756e886d2968673b3e6fb6/setuptools/command/sdist.py?at=master#cl-15
