Basically the setup depends on files not contained in the source archive. Further, the motif to download additional files on top doesn't seem particularly helpful either, as the release will not be self-contained - any chance this could be restructured so that everything needed for the build is contained in the sdist?

Questionable whether defining multiple packages in a single setup.py as done here is even allowed.

I don't understand what you mean by this. It looks like there is just a file missing from the sdist. Am I missing something?

Why is this questionable?
