Apparently, based on tonight's searching, there is a large diversity
of opinion on where to put one's tests!

I did find one good web article, "Python Project Howto", at

http://infinitemonkeycorps.net/docs/pph/

that seems really good.  It is oriented on how to prep your project
for open source distribution and is quite detailed.  On the question I
am interested in, the author proposes this project structure:

googlemaps/ # Project Hosting

    .svn/ # Version Control

    googlemaps/ # Quality Code

        googlemaps.py

    test/ # Unit Testing

        test_googlemaps.py

    doc/ # Documentation

        index.rst

        html/

            index.html

    README.txt

    LICENSE.txt # Licensing

    setup.py # Packaging

    MANIFEST.in


I think that this article would make a good read for anyone in a
similar learning situation as mine.

Cheers!
