python - Package spacy model

Question

I want to include the spacy model de_core_news_sm in a python package.

Here is my project: https://github.com/michaelhochleitner/package_de_core_news_sm .

I package and install the project with the following commands.

python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
pip install dist/example-pkg-mh-0.0.1.tar.gz

I want to import the module example_pkg.import-model.py .

$ python
>>> import example_pkg.import_model
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/mh/PycharmProjects/packaging_tutorial/example_pkg/import_model.py", line 2, in <module>
    import de_core_news_sm
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'de_core_news_sm'

How can I include the module 'de_core_news_sm' into the package so that it's installed after running the following command?

pip install dist/example-pkg-mh-0.0.1.tar.gz
