pip fails when building wheel

[ceteri]

Thank you very much for building/publishing mkepub -

One minor error, when installing mkepub via pip, the setup.py script fails when building a wheel:

error log

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

ERROR: Failed building wheel for mkepub

Running setup.py clean for mkepub

Failed to build mkepub

ERROR: Could not build wheels for mkepub, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

The LICENSE file which gets referenced in setup.cfg is not included in the source distribution.

This happens for me when installing mkepub with:

• pip 23.2
• Python 3.9
• macOS 12.6.3

As a proposed workaround, I'll submit a PR with a MANIFEST.in file added.

Note that a pip install works when the GitHub URL is referenced directly, i.e., not building through the latest PyPi release:

python3 -m pip uninstall git+https://github.com/anqxyr/mkepub
