I know about unittest, but don't use it any more.

The test command I posted simply calls a test function,
which can use doctest, unittest or whatever internally.

Thats what these lines are supposed to do:
# extend sys.path
sys.path.insert(0, self.build_purelib)
sys.path.insert(0, self.build_platlib)
