Dear team, Andrea Gavana has kindly made the code to his benchmark suite and the

AMPGO solver available. I am working on getting the benchmark suite suitable for inclusion into Scipy (pull request to follow). It's essentially going to be a vastly expanded version of scipy/optimize/benchmarks/test_functions.py. The benchmark suite needs to be accompanied by tests, but I'm not sure where to put them, presumably in a tests directory below the benchmarks directory.

However, the benchmark directory is not a scipy module, so how would I import go_benchmark_functions from the testing code?

Could the benchmark modules automatically rest themselves when they are run? Since it it's code that is normally only run in testing, making sure the benchmarks work when they are run might make sense.
