Removing (or not copying) files from (to) wheels

[galleon]

Hi All

I am getting better at using poetry but I have still some questions :-)

My build relies on several native dependencies I have therefore an external builder.py that has a custom CMake extension. The binary installs perform well and all bin, share, lib and include directories are installed in my tmp wheel directory.

Since I am using orly binaries and shared files I would like to remove the lib and include directories. I tried (unsuccessfully) to use the exclude keyword giving the destination filenames ...

What is the best way to do that ?

Do we have some kind of post-actions that I could simply use to remove those directories if I cannot prevent them to be created at the install of the dependencies?

Thanks

Did you try using a glob?

This should mean that the builders will exclude these when making the sdist/bdist. Alternatively, there is nothing stopping you from removing these files as a post-build step in your builder.py file.
