I either check out the source on the server and install into a Conda environment, or make a Docker image. sdists are mainly for distributing your package on PyPI. We're gradually migrating our webapps to Docker. We're using Conda inside Docker for various reasons but that's not essential.
"I worry that repeated installations of newer versions will leave behind a lot of clutter." I'm not quite sure what you mean. If you pip install something without -e it will delete the files from the previous version. If you install it with -e it would leave stray '.pyc' files from modules you've deleted, but you usually know if you've deleted modules so you can run a shell script that recursively deletes all '*.pyc' files and ';__pycache__' directories. If you make an sdist into the same directory repeatedly, it might similarly leave obsolete files, but only if you've deleted modules or removed things in setup.py. That's easy to avoid; just delete the dist directory before building. If you want something like sdist, you might look into 'bdist_wheel', which moves some steps from the installer to the builder for efficiency.
