__pycache__ and *.pyc included in (PyPi) source tarball

[matbryan52]

While looking into #1271 I think I've found that the PyPi .tar.gz (and probably also the .whl) contain all the .pyc files.

from https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/17/a4/20eb6a06158774138afbd4118e2800d1e0db54fd5a8136025cd723535ee3/libertem-0.9.2.tar.gz

From my understanding .pyc is OS+Python version specific so I think this just inflates the bundle size?

I can reproduce this when running python -m build and python setup.py sdist locally.

Yeah, agreed.

Something like this should fix the issue, although I haven't checked if this still includes everything important:

Still includes the built client, such that people don't need to build the client if they just install from sdist.
