MANIFEST - Including extra files with your package

The MANIFEST.in file lists all the extra files (those other than your package source code) which should be included when your package is sent out. This is really important so that your license is always included with your software.

In this exercise, you'll write your MANIFEST.in file for impyrial.

P.S. We have added a license to your directory which is the MIT License. This is a common and very open license which allows anyone to use this package in any way they like.
