The idea behind set_local_path is that it allows running tests inside subpackages without the need to rebuild the entire package. set_local_path()/restore_path() are convenient when debugging or developing a subpackage. If you are sure that there are no bugs in numpy subpackges that need such debugging process, then the set_local_path() restore_path() calls can be removed. (But please do not remove them from scipy tests files, rebuilding scipy just takes too much time and debugging subpackages globally would be too painful).
