install python project using PIP

Question

I've developed a chatbot project and this is the structure of its folder:

chatbot1:
     __init__.py
     __pycache__
     build
     chatbot_script.egg-info
     dist
     MANIFEST.in 
     package_data.dat
     README.rst
     setup.cfg
     setup.py
     stanford-postagger-full-2015-04-20
     main_chatbot.py
     Female_chatbot.py
     Male_chatbot.py
     arabic_const.py
     normalize.py
     stem_const.py
     stemming.py

and this is the setup.py:

from setuptools import setup, find_packages
from codecs import open
from os import path

here = path.abspath(path.dirname(__file__))
with open(path.join(here, 'README.rst'), encoding='utf-8') as f:
long_description = f.read()
setup(name='chatbot_script',
      version='1.2.0',
      description='is a simple chatbot_script that uses simple matching ',
      long_description=long_description, 
      url='https://github.com/pypi/chatbot_script',license='MIT', classifiers=   
      ['Development Status :: 3 - Alpha','Intended Audience :: Developers',
        'Topic :: Software Development :: Build Tools',
        'License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License',
        'Programming Language :: Python :: 2',
        'Programming Language :: Python :: 2.6',
        'Programming Language :: Python :: 2.7',
        'Programming Language :: Python :: 3',
        'Programming Language :: Python :: 3.3',
        'Programming Language :: Python :: 3.4',
        'Programming Language :: Python :: 3.5',],
      keywords='sample setuptools development',
      packages=find_packages(),
      install_requires=['peppercorn'],
      extras_require={
             'dev': ['check-manifest'],
             'test': ['coverage'],},
       package_data={
             'sample': ['package_data.dat'],},
       entry_points={
             'console_scripts': [
             'sample=sample:main',],},)

I successfully upload the chatbot_script to PyPi and testPyPi. But when I download it there are only these files:

chatbot_script-1.2.0:
    chatbot_script.egg-info
    PKG-INFO
    README.rst
    setup.cfg
    setup.py

Why I can't upload the other files?

Your main files should go in a wrapper folder

and in your MANIFEST.in you can include/exlude files

For example

File Structure:

chatbot1:
    MANIFEST.in 
    setup.cfg
    setup.py
    README.rst
    chatbot1:
        <package files>

MANIFEST.in

recursive-include chatbot1 .*
graft chatbot1
prune chatbot1/unwanted_files

what is a wrapper folder? actually i want to install the python package in a django project in a virtual environment

Tobey Over a year ago

You should not put the dist utils files (setup.py, etc) in your main package. The package shld be on the same folder level as your setup.py script

how to put the file in a wrapper folder?

Tobey Over a year ago

You just need to edit the file structure like i suggested in my answer. Make another folder called chatbox1 (within your current chatbot1 folder ) and move all the package files in there, leaving out all the setuptools related files were they are. And edit you manifest file accordingly.

No problem. You can accept the solution then. Cheers
