This is probably an indication that the '.test' package was not importable 
for some reason.

Try this:

python setup.py develop
python -c "import pysqlite2.test"

and see what happens.  The unittest package is rather notorious for not 
giving good error messages in the case of a failed import.  It should 
really reraise the ImportError when it is unable to find an attribute.
