At pyproject.toml file Include section does not respect packages section

• I am on the latest Poetry version.
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
• If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option).

Issue

Projects that do not follow the standard python package structure (e.g. root package inside src directory) require a packages definition as follows:

packages = [
    { include = "my_package", from = "src" },
]

Under some circumstances it is also be required to create a wheel including files ignored by VCS. And that’s where it gets tricky.

The following include section definition doesn’t work (and there’s no “from” option to fix it.)

include = [
    { path = "my_package/*.py"}
]

Alternatively, the following definition clashes with the previous packages section definition (the output wheel will contain a src folder instead of the desired my_package directory).

include = [
    { path = "src/my_package/*.py"}
]

All in all, I’m unable to build the expected package wheel.

@audunska It will actually be fixed once there is a new release of poetry-core and an accompanying release of Poetry that includes these changes. That’s why we’ll leave this issue open for now.

You are indeed correct – thanks for the note. Should have looked a bit deeper. Cheers –

@gangofnuns https://github.com/gangofnuns my guess is that it’s the hypen in the name, which makes it an invalid package name, try changing that to an underscore (you might have to rename the directory as well, not so sure on that)
