Re: [matplotlib-devel] MPL w/package_data

[Nadezhda D. <den...@st...>]

What's wrong with Pete Shinners's smart_istall_data?
I am thinking of using it in all our packages, so
if someone knows of any drawbacks I'd like to hear
about this.

I've spent hours trying to construct a distutils hack that
will force bdist_wininst to package data correctly and this
one just works, (that's why I'm so impressed).
