Tests fail due to missing file 'release-announce-test'

[lfam]

While packaging txtorcon 19.0.0 for Guix, I found that txtorcon's test suite fails when it can't find the file release-announce-test in the unpacked source code as downloaded from PyPi.

Specifically, it fails like this:

Am I running the tests correctly? Are they intended to be run by downstream distributors?

Hmm, I can't find the string release-announce-test in the source (.tar.gz) for 19.0.0 (nor in my Git repo). While I didn't necessarily intend for people to download and run the tests like that, it should still work.

Thanks for packaging! (Sorry for the delay responding to this)
