Alan,
Assuming the above structure and further assuming that your python test 
suite is under test,
how do you arrange to import code that is under main?
I have only been able to figure out how to import code that is at the 
same or lower level in the file structure.
If one's test code was in --- test/test.py, an import of --- main or 
main/mycode.py would have to 'find' the latter by traveling up the tree 
to test and then over to main, or over to main and then down to 
mycode.py.
I've not been able to do that.  Is there a way?
