Root Cause

The package data file is missing from the source tree or not specified in setup.py.

generic

中文

包数据文件在源代码树中缺失，或未在 setup.py 中指定。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success Create the missing file or adjust setup.py 
    Ensure file exists and add include_package_data=True and package_data={'': ['data/*.yaml']} in setup()
  2. 70% success Use setuptools_scm to auto-include 
    pip install setuptools_scm and configure accordingly

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Adding the file to the wrong directory 50% fail

    Path mismatch.

  2. Using MANIFEST.in incorrectly 40% fail

    May not include data files in wheel.
