@mgorny You can use #flit to produce sdist distributions with autogenerated setup.py:

@m_cadek I found #Flit to be relatively easy when I started using it recently. The only thing that stumped me initially was that I had a single-file module, but I wanted some data files to get packaged with it. Flit handles that automatically, but you need to structure your code as a package (directory w/ an __init__.py file) instead of just a module. Once I got that straightened out, it was smooth sailing.

Solved! After banging my head on this some more I found it's related to the distinction between a module (a single .py file) and a package (a directory with a __init__.py file in it, along with other stuff).

The #Flit docs say 'Data files within a package directory are automatically included.' This is 100% technically correct, but easy for a beginner (like me, in this case!) to misunderstand and think that anything in their project directory will be included.
