Spurious cache files in PyPI tarball

[ghisvail]

Please take extra care with your future releases by ensuring they are done from a clean source tree. The current tarball on PyPI is riddled with cache files under qtpy/tests.

Thanks.

Thanks @ghisvail, we'll fix this in 1.3.1

This could be fixing changing this MANIFEST.in line https://github.com/spyder-ide/qtpy/blob/master/MANIFEST.in#L5

recursive-include qtpy/tests *

recursive-include qtpy/tests *.py

Great! Please open a PR about it.

I was wrong, after some testing I realize that is not the problem, I don't know what the error could be, maybe we could add something like find . -name '*.pyc' -delete to the release instructions in the meanwhile 😞

You need a combination of both, i.e. a filter in MANIFEST.in which is restrictive enough, plus a release process which ensures that the tarball is generated from a clean environment. I can help for the former (PR to follow shortly), but the latter is in your hands.

There's a git command that removes all files not under version control. I'll add it to our release notes to prevent this in the future.

Indeed, a git clean -fd prior to running python setup.py sdist should be enough.

I'll update the Debian package with version 1.3.1 then.
