Include license file in the generated wheel package #116

Closed jdufresne closed 7 years ago

jdufresne commented 7 years ago

The wheel package format supports including the license file. This is done using the [metadata] section in the setup.cfg file. For additional information on this feature, see:

Huh, I guess this means that's one difference between wheel and sdist? Yea...listing two random (equivalent) wheel-vs-sdist archives on my workstation, I see that yea, wheels have a dist-info/ subfolder and it lacks some of the stuff the sdists do.

I wonder why wheel doesn't respect the relevant parts of my MANIFEST.in (which is what makes LICENSE and co show up in sdists) but I'll assume it's for a good reason.

Gonna go rub this all over my other projects too while I'm thinking about it. Thanks!

There is some discussion about why this is hard and not immediately doable in wheel issue: pypa/wheel#138
