Unable to include data files in python package with setuptools.

I want to build a python package using setuptools. The folder structure of the project is the following (some non-essential parts have been deleted): ``` energy-monitor ├── config │ ├── config.yml │ └── secrets.yml ├── data │ └── cpu_tdp.json ├── energy_monitor │ ├── core │ │ ├── gui.py │ │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── data │ │ └── tableExport.json │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── main.py │ └── utils │ ├── api_calls.py │ └── __init__.py ├── energy-monitor.py ├── LICENSE ├── MANIFEST.in ├── pyproject.toml ├── README.md └── requirements.txt ``` The content of the pyproject.toml file is the following (some non-essential parts have been deleted): ``` [build-system] requires = ["setuptools>=68.0"] build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta" [project] name = "energy_monitor" version = "0.0.1" description = "Energy monitor" readme = "README.md" requires-python = ">=3.11" license = {text = "GPLv3"} classifiers = [ "Programming Language :: Python :: 3", "Operating System :: OS Independent", ] dynamic = ["dependencies"] [tool.setuptools.dynamic] dependencies = {file = ["requirements.txt"]} [tool.setuptools] packages = [ "energy_monitor", "energy_monitor.core", "energy_monitor.utils" ] include-package-data = true [project.scripts] energy-monitor = "energy_monitor.main:main" ``` Finally, the content of the MANIFEST.in file is the following: ``` include README.md include LICENSE graft config ``` I generate the package with `python -m build` and install the .tar.gz archive with `pipx`. According to setuptools documentation, I expect to find my config folder, together with README and LICENSE in the interpreter directory (site-packages) after the installation. However, this doesn't happen and I cannot run the app becase it complains that it doesn't find the config. What am I missing?

Suggestions for a good TUI library?

I'm learning C++ and as starting project I'd like to build a simple TUI program, something like [neofetch](https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch). Do you have any suggestions of a good library I can use to manage the TUI? After some research I sumbled upon `ncurses`, which seems quite old tho, and [`notcurses`](https://github.com/dankamongmen/notcurses), which to me looks quite cool. Which of the two would you recommend? Are there any better libraries? I thought that maybe, being quite widely used, `ncurses` is more worth learning, but I'm open to different opinions.

CS Career Questions breadcrumb • 1y ago • 100%

Is desktop development still a thing?

I don't have a CS background (I graduated in Neuroscience) but now I decided I want to attempt a carrer in software development. When I looked at the possible different types of software developer I felt that the one I was most attracted to was desktop developer or system developer. In general, I like creating programs than run offline on a local machine, or even dealing with the low level operating system stuff. I altready know how to program in Python so I decided to start learning C++ as well since it feels like exactly the language that can be used for developing desktop apps or working with kernels. In general, I like the level of abstraction at which C++ works and I would like to keep working at that level. However, when looking around for some jobs or in general talking with people who work in the IT field, I feel like most of the work of a developer is polarised between two extremes: either creating web apps using tons of different front-end and back-end frameworks, or working with embedded systems for different kind of electronic devices. C++ specifically seems to be used nothing more than for gaming and embedded systems nowadays (according to my very subjective impression ofc). So my question is: is it still possible to find a job were the main task is to develop and/or maintain desktop apps? And if so, is C++ (or other languages that work at the same abstraction level like Rust) the right language to do this? Or maybe, given my lack of a CS education, it's easier to start as a webdev and maybe change later? Sorry if I said some nonsense or trivial stuff but I just started to enter the IT world and I still don't have a clear idea on how the job market for SWD works.

ModuleNotFoundError when installing a package with entry points using pipx

I'm writing a python package that I would like to distribute as a standalone terminal app. The structure of the project folder is the following: energy-monitor/ -- config/ -- doc/ -- tests/ -- energymonitor/ ---- __init__.py -> (empty) ---- main.py -> def main() ---- data/ ---- ..other packages.. -- project.toml I'm using setuptools to generate a .tar.gz archive, some relevant parts of the project.toml file are: ``` [build-system] requires = ["setuptools>=68.0"] build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta" [project] name = "energy-monitor" version = "0.0.1" ... [tool.setuptools.packages.find] where = ["energymonitor"] [tool.setuptools.package-data] data = ["data/*"] [project.scripts] energy-monitor = "energymonitor.main:main" ``` I generate the .tar.gz and the .whl files with the command `python -m build`, then I run `pipx install path/to/energy-monitor.tar.gz`. The installation is succesful, but when calling energy-monitor from the command line I get: ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/mattia/.local/bin/energy-monitor", line 5, in <module> from energymonitor.main import main ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'energymonitor' ``` Why is this happening? I was not able to find any helpful solution online. It's the first that I build a python package so sorry if the issue is trivial. - python version: 3.11.3

Unable to export plotly image with kaleido

Hi, I'm trying to save a plotly image as a static .svg file using kaleido. I have kaleido-0.2.1 installed, but when I run this code on jupyter: `fig1.write_image("../figures/supp1A.svg", format="svg", engine="kaleido")` I get this error: ``` ValueError: Image export using the "kaleido" engine requires the kaleido package, which can be installed using pip: $ pip install -U kaleido ``` Why does this happens even tho kaleido is installed?

Minecraft 1.20 new installation: worlds not present in "saves" folder

Hi, I recently re-installed minecraft after a long time not playing it. I'm using Manjaro linux as OS, which is different from the Linux distro I used in the past to play minecraft (I think it was Ubuntu). I have my old worlds (from v1.16) saved under ~/.minecraft/saves and I hoped they would appear again in the new installation after restoring this folder, but this isn't the case. Also, I created a new world in the new installation but it doesn't appear in the ~/.minecraft/saves folder. Where should I look for it? Is the location of the minecraft folder changed with the new releases?
