Permissions error during pip install on MacOS/Homebrew Python3

Comienza inspeccionando setup.py y MANIFEST.in y, después, reproduce la instalación de pip3 de Homebrew Python 3 en macOS. La tarea estará terminada cuando la instalación del paquete ya no intente copiar README.rst, CHANGELOG.rst ni LICENSE en /usr/local y se complete sin el error de permisos.

Hi,

I ran into a permissions error during pip3 install as your setup.py seems to want to copy data files to /usr/local on my machine, i.e.

$ pip3 install base64io
DEPRECATION: Configuring installation scheme with distutils config files is deprecated and will no longer work in the near future. If you are using a Homebrew or Linuxbrew Python, please see discussion at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/76621

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/CHANGELOG.rst'
Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.

As it happens, the installation does still succeed, despite the error message indicating otherwise.

I realise I can simply perform a --user install and work around this issue, but I don't think that should be necessary. I'm using Homebrew installed Python 3.9.5 on MacOS, both pip3 and python3 are in /usr/local/bin.

I think this can be solved by replacing

data_files=["README.rst", "CHANGELOG.rst", "LICENSE"],

with

include_package_data=True,

in setup.py as the files are already listed for inclusion in MANIFEST.in.
