I've stated my opinion before that I think tests should be distributed
with a python app / module and was surprised to face opposition to
that idea.  Today, I saw one of the most succinct summaries about why
distributing tests is such a good idea:

I could not have said it better myself.

What do you lose by distributing tests with your package?  10k of disk
space?  I can't think of anything else.
