I had the same issue recently (although I had to build a wheel instead of an egg), the solution works the same both for bdist_egg
and bdist_wheel
. You have to override the method find_package_modules
in build_py
:
import fnmatch
from setuptools import find_packages, setup
from setuptools.command.build_py import build_py as build_py_orig
exclude = ['*.dev']
class build_py(build_py_orig):
def find_package_modules(self, package, package_dir):
modules = super().find_package_modules(package, package_dir)
return [(pkg, mod, file, ) for (pkg, mod, file, ) in modules
if not any(fnmatch.fnmatchcase(pkg + '.' + mod, pat=pattern)
for pattern in exclude)]
setup(
packages=find_packages(),
cmdclass={'build_py': build_py},
)
In this example, modules named dev
in all packages will be excluded from the build.
As you can see, there’s no need to play with exclusions in find_packages()
as you still need all packages to be included, but instead you filter the module files found in each package. The class build_py
is pretty much generic and could be refactored in a separate library if you need to reuse it; the only project-specific stuff is the list of exclude patterns.

def without_app(item):
# http://docs.python.org/release/2.2.1/lib/string-methods.html
return not bool(item.find('app_name') + 1)
# help(filter) - use in command line to read the docstring
packages = filter(without_app, find_packages())
