542.6 Installing Additional Files</A>
55</H1>
56
57<P>
58The <span class="du-option">data_files</span> option can be used to specify additional
59files needed by the module distribution: configuration files, message
60catalogs, data files, anything which doesn't fit in the previous
61categories.
62
63<P>
64<span class="du-option">data_files</span> specifies a sequence of (<var>directory</var>,
65<var>files</var>) pairs in the following way:
66
67<P>
68<div class="verbatim"><pre>
69setup(...
70 data_files=[('bitmaps', ['bm/b1.gif', 'bm/b2.gif']),
71 ('config', ['cfg/data.cfg']),
72 ('/etc/init.d', ['init-script'])]
73 )
74</pre></div>
75
76<P>
77Note that you can specify the directory names where the data files
78will be installed, but you cannot rename the data files themselves.
79
80<P>
81Each (<var>directory</var>, <var>files</var>) pair in the sequence specifies the
82installation directory and the files to install there. If
83<var>directory</var> is a relative path, it is interpreted relative to the
84installation prefix (Python's <code>sys.prefix</code> for pure-Python
85packages, <code>sys.exec_prefix</code> for packages that contain extension
86modules). Each file name in <var>files</var> is interpreted relative to
87the <span class="file">setup.py</span> script at the top of the package source
88distribution. No directory information from <var>files</var> is used to
89determine the final location of the installed file; only the name of
90the file is used.
91
92<P>
93You can specify the <span class="du-option">data_files</span> options as a simple sequence
94of files without specifying a target directory, but this is not recommended,
95and the <code class="du-command">install</code> command will print a warning in this case.
96To install data files directly in the target directory, an empty
97string should be given as the directory.
98
99<P>
