examples are added to site-packages

See original GitHub issue

When installing graphene using pip it creates an examples directory in site-packages with the star wars example schema.

I feel like it’s improper to add a base examples directory. Either it should not be added or placed inside the graphene directory.

Steps to reproduce:

Start empty pipenv project

Run pipenv install graphene

In a python file: from examples.starwars.schema import schema

@marnixlenoble @jkimbo I’ve found that issue cause in setup.py (packages=find_packages(exclude=["tests", "tests.*", "examples"])) and I was able to fix it by changing examples to examples*.

Unfortunately there seems to be no easy way to make package examples an optional dependency when it is in the same repository. Maybe it will be a good idea to separate examples from main package and then it could be added as extras_require={"examples": ["graphene-examples"]}?

Is it even necessary to allow installation of examples or are they here only for documentation purposes?

EDIT: I am also not sure what exclude "tests" is supposed to do as all test files are currently also included in package installation.
