You don't want the test runner to look for tests under /home/chris/twiddler/, which contains the egg cache directly under it, as well as your Python packages. People who use an intermediate 'src/' subdir do not get the problem you stumbled upon. I think an intermediate directory is a Very Good Idea, because: * you want to be able to import 'twiddler', which means /home/chris/twiddler/ must be in you sys.path * you don't want setup.py or bootstrap.py to be in your sys.path, which contradicts the above requirement OTOH if you want to keep your current package layout, you need to convince zc.recipe.testrunner to use a different --test-path (specifically, '/home/chris/twiddler/twiddler'). I've no idea how to achieve this. I'd choose the other solution (insert a src/ subdir into my tree, above the twiddler subdir). > ]) > The only other thing I can think of: do you maybe have "default user > config files" living in ~ that are influencing zope.testing or > zc.recipe.testrunner in some way? You can override the egg cache location in a dotfile in your home. Power users do that to avoid downloading the same eggs over and over again for each project they're working on.
