Comment 2 for bug 1686111

Indeed, it does not seems to work out of the box.

I tried:

[files]
packages_root = src
files = src # or src/mypackage

It does not work. Would be cool to allow packages to be put into a subdirectory "src", without changing the name of the package and the way to access to it

also, it allows more easily package transitions:
In my package, I have a src/mypackage package. Now, let's say I have some method I want to move to another lib "anotherlib". I can temporarily create an src/anotherlib", time until pypi receive my new lib 'anotherlib', and I do not have code to change in python files.
