"How to package additional files under site-packages "

[Saba Kauser]

Hello,

I have a setup.py that has this:
package_data = { 'tests': [ '*.png', '*.jpg']}
data_files = [ ('', ['./README.md']),
               ('', ['./CHANGES']),
               ('', ['./LICENSE']) ]

setup( name    = PACKAGE,
       version = VERSION,
.
.
       packages     = find_packages(),
       package_data = package_data,
       data_files   = data_files,
       include_package_data = True,
.
)

This setup is copying README.md, CHANGES and LICENSE files under python-install path/Lib
e.g:
    /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/CHANGES
    /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/LICENSE
    /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/README.md

And my package is installed under :
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ibm_db.cpython-37m-darwin.so

I want data_files to be copied under my package install path.
How do I achieve this?

Thanks in advance!
Saba.
