Downloading the ruamel.yaml source ================================== ruamel.yaml is available as a Python package from PyPI. However, this does not include the unit tests. These are available in the SourceForge repository, but the repository does not have any tarballs available for download. So the watch file calls a local script to clone the mercurial repository, check out the current tag, and pack it into a tarball in place of the downloaded PyPI version. This script requires the mercurial package to be installed, but this is not a build-dependency.
