Python source files not extracted when I pip install my package

Question

I've created some small and simple python package and uploaded it to the PYPI.
When I install my package using pip install, everything works fine,
but the python source files are not extracted, the installed-files.txt file does not include it.
SOURCES.txt DOES include the python source file.
Only __init__.py file is extracted.

I can not understand what is wrong with my package or the way I create it.
Please advice....

My package name is test_pypi
You can find it here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/test_pypi
Package has no requirements

Package folder contains following files:

• __init__.py - empty file

• LICENSE.txt - contains Apache license

• MANIFEST.in

  include READMT.rst  
  include LICENSE.txt  
  recursive-include test_pypi/mdl *.py
  

• setup.py

  from setuptools import setup
  
  def readme():
  with open('README.rst') as f:
          return f.read()
  
  setup(name='test_pypi',
      version='1.0',
      description='test_pypi_description',
      url='https://pypi.python.org/pypi/test_pypi',
      license='LICENSE.txt',
      author='Evgeny Fedoruk',
      author_email='minievg@hotmail.com',
      packages=['test_pypi'],
      install_requires=[],
      zip_safe=False)  
  

The package folder (test_pypi) contains:

• __init__.py - empty file

• mdl (folder) contains

  • empty __init__.py file

  • python source file test.py

    print 'hello'
    

I do the following for uploading the package:

python setup.py register sdist upload

I do the following for installing it:

pip install test_pypi

One last thing, I tried installing it with virtual env and without it - same problem, the test.py file is not extracted

You need to include mdl in your packages argument to setup():

packages=['test_pypi','test_pypi.mdl'],

Packages you want to include must either be explicitly listed, or you can have setuptools find them using find_packages() :

from setuptools import find_packages
my_packages=find_packages()
