Do you have an __init__.py file in the tests and suites directories?

More on that here:

http://docs.python.org/tut/node8.html

"The __init__.py files are required to make Python treat the directories as
containing packages; this is done to prevent directories with a common name,
such as "string", from unintentionally hiding valid modules that occur later
on the module search path. In the simplest case, __init__.py can just be an
empty file, but it can also execute initialization code for the package or
set the __all__ variable, described later."
