I would suggest to revert the change that prevents from building an
sdist
under Python 3.I've followed the #398 and #399 issues, and both were addressed by PR #400
The only compatibility issue was for wheels built under Python 3 (with
python setup.py bdist_wheel
) and then used under Python 2, and that was only because wheels where considered universal, while they aren't, and that's now addressed by PR #400.Building an
sdist
(.tar.gz
/.zip
format) and using it across Python 2/3 isn't an issue, as thesetup.py
file will be executed in each instance and will install only the right parts. Thus, runningpython setup.py sdist
on python 3 is entirely valid, and preventing it will cause issue for users.I suggest to revert it before releasing v0.17.1.
