​People usually include the tests in their sdist - you might want to do
that too. If you still don't then you can control the contents of sdist via
MANIFEST.in - "test"​ is inlcuded by default afaik so just add a "prune
test" in MANIFEST.in. Still, take note that sdist is not what gets
installed in site-packages, so you should have all your source files in it.
IOW: don't do prune test.
