Using the sdist option and MANIFEST is you want to have work files sitting around your source tree but still build when the time is right. It's also nice for providing src for windows folks via the sdist --formats=gztar,zip at the same time and does all the name for you...

This is correct. I do release PyChecker as a .tar.gz which contains a setup.py, but no PKG-INFO. Should there be one? I don't use setup.py to create the .tar.gz.

I've never found the proper way to make releases when I looked. But that was a long time ago. Neal
