Is > it or not good to install test files? They're all effectively upstream bugs: installing modules into shared locations. 'tests' is a common enough module name that its one of the most easily observed in practice. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with tests being installed, but they should be under/within their package module directories. Most projects exclude them (from installation) with something like: packages = find_packages(exclude=[...]), Though doing the above for a project with this packaging 'bug' is not really the correct solution.
