I have a module that has a tests/ directory which contains a C extension that's only used by test cases. I don't want to install it. I'm building it as a setuptools.Extension() added to setup() using the ext_modules argument. The test directory is not added to setup's packages argument. Even though none of the python sources from the tests/ directory gets installed when running setup.py install, the extension binary (and nothing else) is installed into site-packages/tests/. How can I prohibit setuptools from doing it?
