I agree that pypi downloads are usually preferable. However I had to
use github tarballs sometimes as upstream did not ship the test suite
for pypi tarballs...
Sure, "strongly encourage" isn't "require". There are cases where
shipping the pypi tarball wouldn't meet Fedora's requirements, such as
requiring the test suite to be present. But, conversely, the github
tarballs also sometimes lack content that's in the pypi tarball, such as
generated documentation.
In the past, where tests were not bundled with the pypi tarball, I've
worked with the developers to fix their manifest so that it is, and
that's worked out.
