Including test suite in pypi tarball

[TheChymera]

Would you be interested to include the tests in the pypi source tarball?

For packaging software it's often more reliable to download the sources from pypi, as it prohibits re-release, whereas on GitHub it's often possible for people to retroactively include changes without realizing that a lot of package managers will flare up at the checksum mismatch as it's identical to what might be a security problem.

Currently, if I do that, I won't be able to permit users to run the test suite and ascertain the functionality of the package:

Hi @TheChymera , is this something you'd be interested in making a PR for? There's an actions workflow that builds and pushes the package in .github/workflows/pythonpublish.yml. Or if not I can plan to have a look at it, but not sure when I'll have time.
