Comment (by russellm):
+1 to everything Jacob said, with one caveat: There is a historical reason
for looking for tests in models.py -- that's the way you could easily find
doctests on any of your model methods. I'm not arguing that this is a
reason to include models.py, but given that there was method in the
madness of including models.py in the search path in the first place, if
we choose to remove models.py, we need to make sure the change is
documented.
I'm also interested to know how this would impact on any plans to
introduce better support for "suites"; I've had a couple of discussions in
recent times, as well as a long running desire to provide a way to
separate true unit test (e.g., check that contrib.auth works) from
integration tests (e.g., checking that contrib.auth is deployed correctly)
from acceptance tests (e.g., testing that contrib.auth works in practice
against a browser test suite). I haven't given any specific thought to how
this would be implemented, but if we're going to make a change to test
discovery, it would be good to know that the idea has been considered,
even if we dont' deliver on the actual capability.
