In general, any script we use should, by default, exclude its directory from sys.path. Maybe this only turns up if you have a package layout where the __init__.py is in the same place as the test runner? No. In fact, in this case, the problem had nothing to do with relative package imports and everything to do with the fact that there were 2 top-level "test" modules/packages on the Python path, Zope's test runner, and Python's test package. This only occurs because, by default, when Python runs a script, it adds the directory including the script to the Python path. That policy is often convenient, but it isn't convenient for Zope.

This is a fairly significant change to make without a proposal. I would expect that there are a number of documentation resources that would need to change as well. A better change would be to arrange for the root directory to be excluded from the Python path. In general, any script we use should, by default, exclude its directory from sys.path.
