I'm packaging a Python3-only library, PyMySQL [1], for internal usage, chiefly using
dh $@ --with python3 --buildsystem=pybuild This library includes a test suite, in a subdirectory named "tests", within its source tree. This directory gets packaged, installed and byte-compiled (by the generated postinst script) during the installation. Having the test suite packaged along with the code looks like having not much sense to me, so should I try to exclude this subdirectory from packaging? Is it considered a bad practice? I don't have much familiarity with Python, let alone packaging its libraries, so I'm not sure if removing such files will break the library or not and what seasoned Python packagers do in cases like this.
