I have come across an upstream that ships both the cythonized .c file and the .py source, on my ITP python-neovim-gui [1]. On #python @freenode I have been said that shipping both files is standard practice, which seems to be backed by the python docs [2]. I understand the need to separate “bundled files for end users”, versus “actual source release" (aka the need to separate the build step), essential to both software freedom and the utilitarian view of working with the source (to fix bugs, fork, etc). I also understand that the Python folks don't want the end user to depend on cython and all that means, so they choose the middle ground of providing both files. I haven't found previous talk on this, has this topic already been brought to the Cython/Python folks before?
