As an ETL Helper developer, I want to understand why packaging process throws a warning so that I can fix the issue.
Description
During the packaging step of the release process, the following warning is raised:
/tmp/build-env-7rjaru8w/lib/python3.9/site-packages/setuptools/command/build_py.py:207: _Warning: Package 'etlhelper.db_helpers' is absent from the `packages` configuration.
!!********************************************************************************############################# Package would be ignored #############################
Python recognizes 'etlhelper.db_helpers' as an importable package[^1],
but it is absent from setuptools' `packages` configuration. This leads to an ambiguous overall configuration. If you want to distribute this package, please make sure that 'etlhelper.db_helpers' is explicitly added to the `packages` configuration field. Alternatively, you can also rely on setuptools' discovery methods
(for example by using `find_namespace_packages(...)`/`find_namespace:`
instead of `find_packages(...)`/`find:`).
You can read more about "package discovery" on setuptools documentation page:
- https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/package_discovery.html
If you don't want 'etlhelper.db_helpers' to be distributed and are already explicitly excluding 'etlhelper.db_helpers' via `find_namespace_packages(...)/find_namespace` or `find_packages(...)/find`, you can try to use `exclude_package_data`, or `include-package-data=False` in combination with a more fine grained `package-data` configuration. You can read more about "package data files" on setuptools documentation page: - https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/datafiles.html [^1]: For Python, any directory (with suitable naming) can be imported, even if it does not contain any `.py` files. On the other hand, currently there is no concept of package data directory, all directories are treated like packages. ********************************************************************************
This doesn't seem to affect the distributed package, as db_helpers is importable. The test suite installs the package via pip and everything works. However, the warning may indicate some other issue that we haven't yet found.
