I dug a little deeper into the setuptools documentation (https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html?highlight=include_package_data#including-data-files) - the missing entries in the MANIFEST.in for those files seem to be the real cause for the missing files:

if using the setuptools-specific include_package_data argument, files specified by package_data will not be automatically added to the manifest unless they are listed in the MANIFEST.in file.

So including those files to the MANIFEST.in seems to be the better solution (the file tzwhere/tz_world.csv mentioned in MANIFEST.in has been removed in df871d2 )

#46 should fix the installation of those files.

I'm having the same problem and would love to see it fixed!
Would it be possible to submit a pull request with your changes? Thanks in advance!

Thanks @linwoodc3 and @seahawk1986 for the pull requests. I ended up using @linwoodc3's since it added compression. I just pushed version 3.0.2 to PyPI
