Thank you.

Is this the sole reason to not use PyPI here? If that's the case,
I wonder if it's worth reconsidering, because using PyPI makes updates
easier.

WDYT?

That is the sole reason. I prefer to enable tests because Python lacks
setup-time checking. Without tests, the build would succeed even if core
dependencies are unmet.

How does PyPI make updates easier, though? Refreshing works on GitHub.

It is standard for us to use a git checkout when the pypi release
doesn't have the tests packaged. It's not uncommon for python packages
to build correctly but fail to run, and the test suite almost always
catches those.

I had not heard about this standard before. Considering many Python
packages are imported through PyPI, I genuinely wonder how common this
custom is, tho.

Fair enough. I applied the patch. Thank you!
