It does depend considerably on how you do the install.  For example, to 
replicate what pip does (to get the data files installed) you have to do:

python setup.py install --single-version-externally-managed --record=/dev/null

I don't find I need to do that with pybuild though.  I find setuptools handling 
of data files highly mysterious and counter-intuitive, so I doubt I'll have 
more specific advice.
