Creating tar.gz in dist folder with python setup.py install

Viewed 7904

I have a project for which I want to create a tar.gz with python setup.py install.

Problem is, I only get egg files in my dist/ folder when running python setup.py install. I need the project.tar.gz file so that I can easily make it installable from conda.

How do I make python setup.py install create a tar.gz (I do not need any egg files, really).

What I ultimately want is a tar.gz archive showing on pypi with a download link and md5, which I used to get before the PYPI update.
