Is it normal to see `python_distributions` depend on other `python_distributions` when the only `import` statements from A -&gt; B is in test files?

test files shouldn’t be included in `python_distributions` at all, unless they have been put there explicitly

can use `./pants paths --from=$x --to=$x`

I ended up figuring it out, we had some files that should have been `python_test_utils` targets but were `python_sources` (they also happened to have a name like `xxx_test_yyy.py` which was mildly confusing
