sync sorc.tar.gz with PyPi

[epifanio]

Hi, is it possible to upload the src.tar.gz for the latest version on PyPI?
at the moment there is only the whl or an older tarball (0.1).

I need to fetch the source code programmatically so I use pip to get the source code :

pip download --no-binary :all: testpath

will download: testpath-0.1.tar.gz while I was expecting to receive the latest version available from the doap.xml description, which is 0.3 https://pypi.python.org/pypi/testpath

No, because the tgz does not have a setup.py, which means that the src.tar.gz cannot be installed by pip.

Though latest master of flit can generate a setup.py, so it might be possible with next version of testpath.

Let's use this as a test case for the new machinery in flit! I've just uploaded a new release with a tarball.

@epifanio that command should now get you testpath-0.3.1.tar.gz . Can you confirm that that does what you want?

Closing this on the assumption that the tarball there now works. Please open a new issue if there are problems with it.
