Cython generated c/cpp files in poetry sdist tar.gz for no-cython-installation

I use Poetry to build tar.gz. and .whl of my package. Cython docs recommend to distribute cython generated c files along with pyx ones. http://docs.cython.org/en/latest/src/userguide/source_files_and_compilation.html#distributing-cython-modules

What should I add to build.py or pyproject.toml to generate c/cpp files by calling poetry build and poetry build -f sdist?

I tried this (from Create package with cython so users can install it without having cython already installed):

build.py:

from setuptools.command.build_ext import build_ext
from setuptools.command.sdist import sdist as _sdist
...
class sdist(_sdist):
    def run(self):
        # Make sure the compiled Cython files in the distribution are up-to-date
        self.run_command("build_ext")
        _sdist.run(self)

def build(setup_kwargs):
    setup_kwargs.update({
        ...
        'cmdclass': {'sdist': sdist,
                     'build_ext': build_ext}
    })

Not worked for me.

The current version of poetry (1.0.5) ignores custom build.py when building an sdist, so there's no chance without modifying poetry first. In the meantime, you can use third-party projects like taskipy to replace the poetry build command with a custom one, e.g.

# pyproject.toml

...

[tool.poetry.dev-dependencies]
cython = "^0.29.15"
taskipy = "^1.1.3"

[tool.taskipy.tasks]
sdist = "cython fib.pyx && poetry build -f sdist"

...

and execute poetry run task sdist instead of poetry build -f sdist.
