Help request: excluding desired files

[Zearin]

NOTE: This Issue is a personal request for help, but is related to #13.

---

When I run py-build and inspect *.egg-info/SOURCES.txt, I want to exclude some of the listed files from the build process, but I don’t know how.

For the moment, the files I would like to exclude are:

• package.json (currently untracked by git, but exists because I am also experimenting with emallson/nppm)
• features/* (the dir itself and all contents)
• MANIFEST.in (maybe? I thought this was just a template for MANIFEST, so shouldn’t it be absent from the result of a py-build?)

[a-tal]

currently you can use py-build -N to not guess at/find data files (then explicitly include the ones you want). the MANIFST.in needs to be included, but the other parts of this request are perfectly valid.

this will likely end up as new feature flag to pypackage, exclude_data_files or something like that. might be able to find time to do this in the next couple days
