Description

Hi,

It looks like the test fIles are packaged together with the package (at least on miniforge), which is triggering our malware scanner on the .odin test files. Is there an option to exclude the test folders for building and distributing the package?

Research direction

Start by inspecting Pygments' package build and distribution configuration, then reproduce the issue with a package built for miniforge. Identify how the .odin test files are included and adjust the packaging scope so test folders are excluded from distributions while the test suite remains available in the source tree.
