title: How to include package data with setuptools/distutils?
body: <p>When using setuptools, I can not get the installer to pull in any <a href="https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#including-data-files" rel="noreferrer"><code>package_data</code></a> files. Everything I've read says that the following is the correct way to do it. Can someone please advise?</p>
  <pre><code>setup(
     name='myapp',
     packages=find_packages(),
     package_data={
        'myapp': ['data/*.txt'],
     },
     include_package_data=True,
     zip_safe=False,
     install_requires=['distribute'],
  )
  </code></pre>
  <p>where <code>myapp/data/</code> is the location of the data files.</p>
