I got trouble about easy_install command.

My package:

  README.rst
  setup.py
  foobar/
  foobar/__init__.py
  foobar/data/
  foobar/data/template.py

In the above example, 'foobar/data/template.py' is just a
template data file (= not a python module file).
(notice that 'foobar/data/__init__.py' doesn't exist.)

In this case, 'foobar/data/template.py' file is NOT installed
when trying 'easy_install foobar'.
This is trouble what I got.

I found that:

* foobar.tar.gz created by 'easy_install sdist' contains
  'foobar/data/template.py' correctly.
* foobar.egg created by 'easy_install bdist' doesn't contain
  'foobar/data/template.py' file.

Question: how can I enforce easy_install command to
install 'foobar/data/template.py' (or non-package *.py file)?
