Issue

Hi
I build using poetry.
and testcommon-0.1.1-py3-none-any.whl file unpack.
I didn't found 'top_level.txt` file

**poetry build **

.
├── testcommon
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── common.py
└── testcommon-0.1.1.dist-info
    ├── METADATA
    ├── RECORD
    └── WHEEL

**setup.py build **

...
packages=setuptools.find_packages("src"),
package_dir={"": "src"},
... 

$ python3 setup.py sdist bdist_wheel

.
├── testcommon
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── common.py
└── testcommon-0.0.1.dist-info
    ├── METADATA
    ├── RECORD
    ├── WHEEL
    └── **top_level.txt**

I think, poetry can't find the package from pyproject.toml file.
How can i found packages.

The reason why I need a file is Pex.

Hello @juyoung-yoo,

what is this top_level.txt? I cannot found anything about in PEP 491 which poetry follows when creating a wheel. I found some reference with google, but I'm not sure what is this file for and where it comes from.

I was also wondering why poetry-produced wheels don't include a top_level.txt. I couldn't find anything official on it either but I did find this mention in A dive into packaging native python extensions:

top_level.txt: Setuptools also add this file which contains only the name of your package. This is part of the (PEP-less) egg format, the predecessor of wheels, as described in The Internal Structure of Python Eggs. This file is not documented and not needed for wheels and therefore not added by other packagers such as poetry. (Interestingly enough, the wheel repository, which adds the bdist_whl command to setuptools, does not even contain the string top_level.txt.)

There is a workaround:

1. Create a folder named <your_package_name>.egg-info
2. Create your top_level.txt in it
3. Add the folder to your package by using this in your pyproject.toml:

[tool.poetry]
...
include = ["<your_package_name>.egg-info/*"]
...
