I want to build a python package using setuptools. The folder structure of the project is the following (some non-essential parts have been deleted):

energy-monitor
β”œβ”€β”€ config
β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ config.yml
β”‚ └── secrets.yml
β”œβ”€β”€ data
β”‚ └── cpu_tdp.json
β”œβ”€β”€ energy_monitor
β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ core
β”‚ β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ gui.py
β”‚ β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ __init__.py
β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ data
β”‚ β”‚ └── tableExport.json
β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ __init__.py
β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ main.py
β”‚ └── utils
β”‚     β”œβ”€β”€ api_calls.py
β”‚     └── __init__.py
β”œβ”€β”€ energy-monitor.py
β”œβ”€β”€ LICENSE
β”œβ”€β”€ MANIFEST.in
β”œβ”€β”€ pyproject.toml
β”œβ”€β”€ README.md
└── requirements.txt

The content of the pyproject.toml file is the following (some non-essential parts have been deleted):

[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools>=68.0"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"

[project]
name = "energy_monitor"
version = "0.0.1"
description = "Energy monitor"
readme = "README.md"
requires-python = ">=3.11"
license = {text = "GPLv3"}
classifiers = [
  "Programming Language :: Python :: 3",
  "Operating System :: OS Independent",
]
dynamic = ["dependencies"]

[tool.setuptools.dynamic]
dependencies = {file = ["requirements.txt"]}

[tool.setuptools]
packages = [
  "energy_monitor", 
  "energy_monitor.core", 
  "energy_monitor.utils"
]
include-package-data = true

[project.scripts]
energy-monitor = "energy_monitor.main:main"

Finally, the content of the MANIFEST.in file is the following:

include README.md
include LICENSE
graft config

I generate the package with python -m build and install the .tar.gz archive with pipx. According to setuptools documentation, I expect to find my config folder, together with README and LICENSE in the interpreter directory (site-packages) after the installation. However, this doesn't happen and I cannot run the app becase it complains that it doesn't find the config. What am I missing?

I don't have a proper answer, but if you are up to try ditching the setuptools backend, flit has great docs and I've never had a problem with it.
