@xhlulu Should I do a short PR or do you want to quickly fix that line?

I think setup.py is a cleaner place to handle this. MANIFEST.in is typically used for non-Python files, whereas packages in the setup script packages arg is intended to cover the necessary Python files. I don’t know if there are any other consequences if we were to use MANIFEST.in but I’d rather we stick to the standard.

Awesome! Feel free to open a PR if this is time sensitive; otherwise, I’ll add it to the milestone for next release (which should be soon considering the recent updates).
