This is due to the "grpc_root" symlink created in tools/distrib/python/grpcio_tools. # ls -l tools/distrib/python/grpcio_tools/grpc_root lrwxrwxrwx 1 portage portage 12 Jul 15 16:54 tools/distrib/python/grpcio_tools/grpc_root -> ../../../../ The "grpc_root" directory is listed in MANIFEST.in: $ cat tools/distrib/python/grpcio_tools/MANIFEST.in include grpc_version.py include protoc_deps.py include protoc_lib_deps.py include README.rst graft grpc_tools graft grpc_root graft third_party So it seems that distutils follows symlinks when processing "graft" entries. Adding the following line at the end of MANIFEST.in breaks the recursion and generates reasonable SOURCES.txt files. prune grpc_root/tools/distrib/python/grpcio_tools
