It's cool :)

Well, it's likely a result of an incomplete MANIFEST.in file that
creates the tarballs for pypi (python setup.py sdist)

If you know this is the case, if you send an href to the repo and note
this in the copyright, I'd be a bit laxer on it, since it is pretty
clear (or you can use the tarball from GitHub or wherever, which would
have full sources)

Sick. Nice move.

Thanks, zigo! I see alteholz already accepted this, just wanted to reply :)
