including folder and files inside a Python package - python-3.x

Question

I'm trying to make a python package and I have most of the things already setup by when I try to install the library from Github here, it installs everything except for the folder called champs and it's files
This is my File directory structure
LeagueYue
champs
-Lname_num.json
-Lname_Uname.json
-num_Uname.json
-__init__.py
-champion_files.py
-external.py
-match.py
-rank.py
-status.py
-summoner.py
-requirements.txt
-setup.py
All the files are installed except for the folder and the files inside champs

Answer 1

As this question answers:
There are 2 ways to add the static files:
1) Include_package_data=True + MANIFEST.in
A MANIFEST.in file in the same directory of setup.py, that looks like this:
include src/static/*
include src/Potato/*.txt
2) Package_data in setup.py
package_data = {
'static': ['*'],
'Potato': ['*.txt']
}
Specify the files inside the setup.py.

Answer 2

Two of the files could probably be derived at runtime from num_Uname.json, but that's fine.
I do not yet see a data_files directive in https://github.com/CharmingMother/LeagueLib/blob/async/setup.py
Thomas Cokelaer suggests using an expression like
datafiles = [(datadir, list(glob.glob(os.path.join(datadir, '*'))))]
and then
setup(
...
    data_files = datafiles,
)
in http://thomas-cokelaer.info/blog/2012/03/how-to-embedded-data-files-in-python-using-setuptools/
In your case this could be as simple as:
data_files = [('', ['champs/num_Uname.json'])],
Martin Thoma explains you should access them using filepath = pkg_resources.resource_filename(__name__, path)
in How to read a (static) file from inside a Python package?
When I Read The Fine Manual, this setup.cfg alternative surfaces:
[options.data_files]
...
data = data/img/logo.png, data/svg/icon.svg
suggesting a line like . = champs/num_Uname.json or champs = num_Uname.json
