In setuptools, I'd do it like this: https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/pull/6010 https://github.com/kliment/Printrun/blob/printrun-2.0.0rc8/setup.py#L55 I am no poetry expert, so I don't know how to do it via poetry. Googling poetry data_files yielded https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/890 That issue is closed but not fixed. Also, setuptools apparently deprecated data_files but I don't know when :/
