Description

When running python setup.py build for jupyter_lsp, setuptools raises this warning:

/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/setuptools/command/build_py.py:153: SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning:     Installing 'jupyter_lsp.etc' as data is deprecated, please list it in `packages`.
    !!


    ############################
    # Package would be ignored #
    ############################
    Python recognizes 'jupyter_lsp.etc' as an importable package,
    but it is not listed in the `packages` configuration of setuptools.

    'jupyter_lsp.etc' has been automatically added to the distribution only
    because it may contain data files, but this behavior is likely to change
    in future versions of setuptools (and therefore is considered deprecated).

    Please make sure that 'jupyter_lsp.etc' is included as a package by using
    the `packages` configuration field or the proper discovery methods
    (for example by using `find_namespace_packages(...)`/`find_namespace:`
    instead of `find_packages(...)`/`find:`).

    You can read more about "package discovery" and "data files" on setuptools
    documentation page.


!!

You can find an interesting discussion about this here: pypa/setuptools#3340

It seems that thanks to PEP 420, also folders without any Python files can now be considered importable Python packages.

Reproduce

  1. Go to python_packages/jupyter_lsp
  2. Run python setup.py build with newer setuptools

Expected behavior

No deprecation warning.
