      Hi! When packaging 2.4.2 for Arch Linux I noticed that I can not use the sdist tarball on pypi because it does not contain the tests.

      Running tests against the system environment is very important in a distribution wide packaging context. Usually the source tarballs for distribution contain all required components to build and test a piece of software.
      It would be awesome if the tests could be included in the sdist tarball as well (from what I can see the growth in size will be about 0.6Mb).
