There are many supporting files that e3sm_diags requires including .cfg, .rgb, .nc, etc. that needs to be installed alongside e3sm_diags. The setup.py file includes logic to move these files around to the correct location in order for them to be correctly installed via python -m pip install ..
Describe the solution you'd like
@xylar suggests that the e3sm_diags data files should have a similar structure internally to what it puts in share/e3sm_diags (related comment). That way the pyproject.toml isn't nearly as bloated and there is less resorting of files required upon installing the package.
