Are you seriously saying that you want your bdists to include tests, documentation etc.?
However you and I agree or disagree on what should be in a bdist, the command I ran should have produced a bdist based on the sdists I just created in the same command.
Most developers would not agree with you, including yours truly.
Well, we disagree. To me, the salient difference between an sdist and a bdist is whether binary artifacts are, um, already built. I certianly enjoy having docs (so I know how to use the binaries I just installed) and tests (so I can assure myself the binaries work as advertised).
If a project is big enough I can see making separate packages for docs and/or tests, but mine are small.
And whichever way we decide to do the packaging, the tools should work for us, not us for the tools.
