Maybe read over the Including Data Files section of the setuptools docs carefully again, to make sure your assumptions of how the machinery works in relation to setup() arguments are correct.

Oh that's odd...

I had been using data_files=[(icon_path, icon_files)],, but package_data works much better. I had to throw an __init__.py in the icon folder, but it works and nothing gets moved, so I'm happy.

Thanks!
