No test files in sdist tarball

[dvzrv]

Hi! I'm packaging this for Arch Linux. We usually rely on sdist tarballs on pypi.org and run the tests of each project (if possible) that we package.

Unfortunately the tests are missing from the sdist tarball and I have to revert to using the auto-generated tarball on github (which is also possible for me to use). However, would it be possible for you to add the tests also to the sdist tarball? Thanks! :)

Hi @dvzrv,

There is no difficulty in adding tests directory to sdist. I can just update MANIFEST.in file and make a new release. However, pytest package is required to run tests. install target does not install dependencies for testing. Currently, we have extra dependencies (extras_require) tests to install pytest and other packages for testing.

For now, I'm closing the issue. Please let me know if this is still important to someone.

Yes, this is important to me. Otherwise I would not have opened the issue :)

It is completely fine, that the install target does not install pytest. If a downstream wants to run the test, they will install the required dependencies. However, without the test files this is not possible at all.

tests directory was added in 0.5.5 release
