Here [1] says that MANIFEST.in file should contain this line:
------
recursive-include towelstuff *.py
------

but, shouldn't be instead the next one?
------
recursive-include bin *.py
------
since that the python files in 'towelstuff' are got automatically when
been indicated the project directory.

In fact both get automatically added. We had a discussion about this
line if you look at the archives.
(implicit vs explicit lising in MANIFEST.in)

from now on I'll remove this line, and I propose that we change this
section so the MANIFEST
template is not required at all
