From 5eca8f556bc7fc7863bff6f56248df9dd669f59f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Edward Betts Date: Sat, 23 Apr 2016 10:22:51 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Include tests in release source tarball A test suite is a very useful thing, it would be great to include it in the pypi release tarball. That way people who download and build the release can run the tests to ensure the library is working. Linux distributions, such as Debian, base their packages of Python modules on the pypi release. This means the test suite can be run when building a Debian package, and so catch mistakes in the packaging or errors introduced into dependencies. I've written some more on this topic on the Debian Python mailing list: https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2016/04/msg00074.html --- MANIFEST.in | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/MANIFEST.in b/MANIFEST.in index c6f00e6..c778b80 100755 --- a/MANIFEST.in +++ b/MANIFEST.in @@ -3,3 +3,4 @@ include setup.py include README.md include COPYING include INSTALL +recursive-include tests *.py
