[SOLVED] Issue with Python Package Upload to PyPI

Issue with Python Package Upload to PyPI - Invalid Directory Structure

I am encountering an issue while uploading my Python package to PyPI. I have followed the standard steps for creating a distribution package using python setup.py sdist and python setup.py bdist_wheel, but the resulting package on PyPI has an unexpected directory structure.

I have a Python project with the following structure:

my_project/
|-- setup.py
|-- my_module/
    |-- __init__.py
    |-- ...

After running python setup.py sdist and python setup.py bdist_wheel, the dist directory contains both a .tar.gz file and a .whl file.

Upon uploading to PyPI using twine upload dist/*, the package is successfully uploaded, but when users download and install it, they find an unexpected directory structure in their site-packages:

site-packages/
|-- my_project-1.0.0.dist-info/
    |-- ...

What should i do?

Edit:

my_project/
|-- setup.py
|-- my_module/
    |-- __init__.py
    |-- screen.py
    |-- test.txt
    |-- my_module/
        |-- dependency_links.txt
        |-- PKG-INFO
        |-- requires.txt
        |-- SOURCES.txt
        |-- top_level.txt
|-- dist/
    |-- my_module-1.1.5-py3-none-any.whl
    |-- my_module-1.1.5.tar.gz
|-- build/
    |-- bdist.win-amd64
    |-- lib/
        |-- __init__.py
        |-- screen.py

site-packages/
|-- my_project-1.0.0.dist-info/
    |-- INSTALLER
    |-- METADATA
    |-- RECORD
    |-- REQUESTED
    |-- top_level.txt
    |-- WHEEL

Solution

I figured it out. I had to include this in my setup.py file:

    package_data={
        'my_module': ['__init__.py', 'screen.py'],
    },
