#20097 Python packaging: Resources not included in wheel Issue created by StefanUlbrich Describe the bug When packaging a python library with external resources (e.g., config files, templates, etc.), the resources will not end up in the wheel/tgz file (iff the resources are not in a subfolder of the python sources). When building an executable (.pex) instead, the resources are available. Whether the resource is declared as a dependency of the sources or the distribution does not matter. The solution is therefore to copy all resources into the source folder.
