For the purposes of continuous integration, such as with Travis, one often needs to repeatedly install packages. In the case of Matplotlib, the tar file is currently 40Mb large due to all the test files (without these, the tar file would be 11Mb). Without bundling the docs and sample data, the tar file is then 4Mb, 10% of the original size. It would be great if a 'lite' or 'notests' file was provided for specific cases such as these where the tests and sample data are not needed. Alternatively, this could be implented as a --lite option for the python setup.py sdist command, which one could use to automatically make a self-hosted version of a 'lite' tar file.
