Packages distributed on PyPi don't have tests

Question

After examining the tarballs from PyPi for packages that use poetry none of them had their tests distributed.

Because of this occurrence I was wondering if that behavior was being enforced somehow here.

Packages for Gentoo Linux also support a dedicated testing phase for the exact reasons @worldofpeace mentioned above.

@sdispater certain distributions of Linux, specifically Debian is the main one I am aware of, require that they build debian package using the source tarball, and having tests in that source tarball allows them to run tests to verify the package was installed successfully.

The complaint here isn’t for projects using poetry but that poetry itself does not ship a source tarball with tests and thus it is harder to package.
