Almost all of the Python packages I maintain have something useful in the GitHub archive that isn’t in the PyPI archive. I find that PyPI source distributions commonly lack test suites and usually lack documentation. I choose PyPI sources where all else is equal, but in a lot of cases using GitHub sources is really the only reasonable option.
