See:

http://python.org/doc/2.4.1/dist/sdist-cmd.html#sdist-cmd
for the full doc on this.
The short version: create a MANIFEST.in file in 'root' with these two lines:
prune test prune doc
Setuptools will then remove anything under those subdirectories from its source lists. The files will not then be included in source distributions. Works fine! thanks a lot!
