I'm going to update it to a new version, which comes with a set of
tests, but I'm not sure about what to do with them.

I think you do want to make the tests available to users, but they don't
necessarily have to be part of the base package.
If the tests are large relative to the base package, a fairly common
solution is to split them out into a sub-package, say aplpy-test.

(This is in addition to running them during the build.)

Hi Tom:

$ du -sh aplpy/
300K	aplpy/

$ du -sh tests/
192K	tests/

So I think that a split is not needed in this case.
