[Distutils] How to eliminate on part of a package?

[Chris Barker]

frankly, I'd give up n find_packages -- it's not that magic, it's just a
convenience function so you don't need to hand-specify them.

But in this case, you're doing something weird, so I"d just be explicit.

Though what I'd probably really do is make the client and server completely
separate packages. After all, you say your users only want the client side
anyway.

and if the server depends on the client (which I"d hope it doesn't!) then
you can simply make it a dependency.
