Please see Issue 26859; I think it is describing the same problem, and a fix is 
proposed (although no regression test)

[issue26481] unittest discovery process not working without .py source files

Robert Collins added the comment:

Sorry, I missed the little footnote on case 4 about still supporting 
source-less distributions. I guess in that context we do still need to support 
this.

However - please check that this does indeed happen on Python master - 3.6. 
unittest does evolve and if you're testing on 2.7 or something your bug is 
perhaps already fixed.

Robert Collins added the comment:

Python has stopped supporting .pyc-only distributions - see 
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3147/#case-3-pycache-foo-magic-pyc-with-no-source
 - and so, while what you are seeing is inconsistent with import in some older 
python's, it is not a bug in newer Python's, and I don't see any benefit in 
doing a backport-only fix for it.

[issue26481] unittest discovery process not working without .py source files

[Stefan Seefeld]

New submission from Stefan Seefeld:

The unittest test discovery right now only looks into sub-packages if they 
contain a `__init__.py` file. That's an unnecessary requirement, as packages 
are also importable if only `__init__.pyc` is present.
