Description

Currently the Python package generated by this project includes the test files under the very generic package name `tests`. This easily conflicts with other packages and pollutes the Python package namespace.

The Archlinux AUR package has just included a patch for this purpose. Would be nice if this was included here: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/exclude-tests.patch?h=awslogs&id=1c9beb4658f4a3824343a2249f0798aa0df37e40

Research direction

Review the linked AUR file exclude-tests.patch and the repository's Python packaging configuration to see how the tests package is included. Confirm the built package no longer installs the generic tests package.
