Something bugs me about virtualenv, distribute, development, and testing. I figure I'm probably doing something wrong and that y'all will be able to set me straight.I'm working on a new tool called pkgme[1]. It uses distribute and recommends using virtualenv for development. After activating the virtualenv you can do 'python setup.py develop' and do convenient in-place editing so that your changes to the source show up immediately in the running environment. So far so good. However, when I want to run the test suite, it does the equivalent of a 'python setup.py build' and then runs the tests out of the build/lib.{platform}-{version} directory.
Really? That sounds wrong. "python setup.py test" should run the tests against the *source* tree, with in-place extension builds.
