Often a lot of times, pypi doesn't vendor test files whereas GitHub does, and that alone looks a strong reason to pull from GitHub - atleast to me That's why I > prefer the Github tarball - provided it is tagged which is unfortunately > not always the case.

You can pull from GitHub upto the commit a version is tagged, and add a "git mode" with "pretty=<version in pypi>+git%cd.%h" in d/watch Sure, it has its own demerits but maybe worth trying - to me it looks better than pypi tags Nilesh >
