It depends on whether or not you require docs or tests with your software. Most of the libraries that I've written require neither - nobody is going to be running the tests, and if they want the documentation then they're probably going to check out the library page on readthedocs.
If you had some kind of reason to include them, though, you could. Typically though if that happens with tests then they're actually part of the library, e.g. yourmodule.tests =========================================================== I welcome VSRE emails.
