Hi,

I'm not 100% sure this is relevant, but regarding sdist vs source tarball,
we just had a similar issue in the apache-ariatosca project when the
release candidate package I had brought up to a vote contained a Pythonic
sdist rather than a source code tarball.
We ended up creating three different packages:
a tarball ("source") - containing a snapshot of the source code (including
e.g. doc-generating files, but without the generated doc pages)
an sdist - containing examples, generated documentation, and source code
with a setup.py etc.
and a bdist - basically the package's wheel (but updated to contain the
LICENSE, NOTICE and DISCLAIMER files) i.e. compiled code.

The tarball goes as the canonical Apache release, and the sdist and bdist
packages go on PyPI.

You can see the structure here if you're interested:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/ariatosca/0.1.0-incubating/


Sorry if this wasn't relevant for your scenario.
