When I run “python setup.py sdist” in a source tree, .gitignore is included in SOURCES.txt and in the resulting tarball. If I run exactly the same version of setuptools—this happens with both stable (40.6.3) and unstable (41.0.1)—pip-installed in a venv, that file is *not* included in the tarball. According to the documentation[1], .gitignore should not be included in the tarball as it does not match any of the standard filename patterns (and I have not added any specification of extra data files, nor a custom manifest). So for some reason Gentoo’s setuptools is including it incorrectly. [1] https://docs.python.org/3.7/distutils/sourcedist.html#specifying-the-files-to-distribute

Old version removed. Please reopen if it still happens.
Still happens with latest stable. Gentoo setuptools includes these files which venv setuptools does not (both includes them in the tarball and also lists them in SOURCES.txt): .gitignore .gitlab-ci.yml .pylintrc LICENSE src/pkgname.egg-info/zip-safe tests/* Meanwhile, although both versions include src/pkgname.egg-info/zip-safe in the tarball, venv setuptools also lists that file in SOURCES.txt while Gentoo setuptools does not.
That's a curious claim, given that we certainly do not apply any patches to setuptools that could affect this.
I’ve tracked down the problem. It’s the mere existence in my installed package set of dev-python/setuptools_scm (pulled in as a dependency of a few other packages), which apparently modifies the behaviour of setuptools even when my package doesn’t ask for it in any way. Not sure if this should be: * a bug on setuptools, having its behaviour changed even when setup.py doesn’t ask for it, * a bug on setuptools_scm, for the same thing, * or not a bug at all?
This is how it works, and you can't make it work otherwise without breaking all packages using setuptools_scm.
