How do I ignore all Python files in project root?

[elliot-100]

I'm sure this has a simple answer, but I haven't found it or worked it out.

I know how to include or exclude Python files in given directories, but is there a way of

• Excluding files in project root
  and/or
• Including all files in all subfolders?

Excluding files in project root and/or

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do. Do you want to exclude specific files or all files in the root directory?

I think the following allows to only include python files that are in a subdirectory but not files that are in the root directory.

include = ["*/**/*.py"]

Sorry I wasn't clear - I meant exclude all files in the root directory. My either/or was intended to be about whether it could be implemented with an include or exclude pattern or both. Will try what you suggest - thanks.
