wheel: Cannot exclude directory

Originally reported by: ijl (Bitbucket: ijl, GitHub: ijl)

I’m unable to exclude a directory ‘test’, using either MANIFEST.in or setup.py.

In MANIFEST.in, I have: recursive-exclude test *

In setup.py: packages=find_packages(exclude=['test', ]),

In each case, sdist correctly excludes the test directory, and bdist_wheel does not. The test directory is included in the wheel, and installed to site-packages at the first level, which is very undesirable.

Can you advise?
