The code dealing with the new resources subsystem used to be called datafiles (module distutils2.datafiles, file dist-info/DATAFILES, etc.). I believe it is a better name and we should use it again:
- it would make clear that it’s an evolution of distutils’ data_files
- it would make clear that it’s related to install_data and data_files
“resources” is overly vague and ambiguous. It can refer to natural resources, computer resources, links to more information, etc. “data files” is less vague and less abstract: it refers to files that are not modules, scripts or C files. |
