Package: pylint Version: 1.8.1-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Some packages like pylint-django rely on the tests functions of pylint to create their tests. Especially the test_functional.py file. In the installation process you explicitly delete the test folder so I'm unable to run the tests for my package (see https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint-django/blob/master/test/test_func.py for how upstream uses it). Could you consider a pylint-tests package that ships just the test directory please?
