I have no clue what you mean by 'sdists'. Is this a widely-known thing?
sdist is the name of the distutils command - it just means distributing a source tarball.
Again, please stop blurring the distinction. I can only assume at this point that it's deliberate on your part, but I have no idea why. A distutils ‘sdist’ is a combination of the source files *and* metadata for distutils. A mere source tarball is *not* an sdist. -- \ “I know you believe you understood what you think I said, but I | `\ am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I | _o__) meant.” —Robert J.
