Using MANIFEST.in currently runs into a pretty nasty scikit-build bug (scikit-build/scikit-build#886) that results in any file included by the manifest being copied from the install tree back into the source tree whenever an in place build occurs after an install, overwriting any local changes. We need an alternative approach to ensure that all necessary files are included in built packages. There are two types:
package_data
argument tosetup
. In this case we do not need to include CMake or pyx files because the result does not need to be possible to build from, it just needs pxd files for other packages to cimport if desired.
