pyproject.toml: package_data?

[nschloe]

In setup.cfg, one could add package data via

[options.package_data]
* = *.txt, *.rst
hello = *.msg

(See here.)

How to do the same in the new pyproject.toml-based builds? (package_data is not part of PEP 621.)

Hi @nschloe the equivalent should be [tool.setuptools.package-data].

There is some documentation in https://validate-pyproject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/schemas.html about what are the valid fields.

Note that I am currently preparing a fix for include-package-data so I don't know if package-data was also affected.

Yup, that works. Thanks for the link!
