Include empty directory with python setup.py sdist

I have a Python package where I want to include an empty directory as part of the source distribution. I tried adding

include empty_directory

to file MANIFEST.in, but when I ran

python setup.py sdist

An empty directory is still not included. Any tips on how to do this?
