Description

SUMMARY
The wordcount example in quickstart-py does not work with the sample code without modification.

OBSERVED
Copy-pasting from the doc page doesn't work:

python -m apache_beam.examples.wordcount --input MANIFEST.in --output counts

Error message: IOError: No files found based on the file pattern MANIFEST.in

EXPECTED
The example tells me to set the path to MANIFEST.in, or gives a pseudo-path that I can substitute in the right path prefix.

python -m apache_beam.examples.wordcount --input /[path-to-git-clone-dir]/beam/sdks/python/MANIFEST.in --output counts
