sdist
Domain: Python Packaging
🎯 Motivation
A source distribution (.tar.gz) containing your raw source code. It lets users build from source when no wheel matches their platform.
📋 Concrete Example
Running python -m build --sdist creates mypkg-1.0.tar.gz with your source tree and metadata files.
🔗 Analogy
An sdist is a bag of flour and yeast — you must bake it yourself, but it works on any oven.
