Pkg_resources.resource_filename Is Not Extracting Files

I want to package a project that contains (and uses) template html files and distribuite it as an egg. Since I’m using tornadoweb, which requires file paths to point to html fil

Solution 1:

Found the cause of the issue. As @erykson noted I was using the wrong directory.

After replacing

html_path = resource_filename(__name__, "html")

with

html_path = resource_filename(Requirement.parse("myproj"), "html")

everything works fine.
