[myhdl-list] Python package organization

[Christopher F. <chr...@gm...>]

Slightly off-topic, where do people like to put there tests (unit tests) 
in a python package directory structure?  Using the example in the 
Python documents:

   python_pkg/
      setup.py
      sound/                     Top-level package
       __init__.py               Initialize the sound package
       formats/                  Subpackage for file format conversions
               __init__.py
               wavread.py
               wavwrite.py
               ...
       effects/                  Subpackage for sound effects
               __init__.py
               echo.py
               surround.py
               reverse.py
               ...
       filters/                  Subpackage for filters
               __init__.py
               equalizer.py
               ...

Would you have one test folder in python_pkg/ or sound/ with all the 
tests.  Or do you have module specific tests with the modules.  Or a 
combination.

In general, I suppose this is project specific.  Some projects don't 
benefit from a package/module organization.  But there are some 
technical constraints, e.g. if the test access as a package or 
individual modules.

I usually end up with something like:

   python_pkg/
      setup.py
      sound/
          __init__.py
          formats/
               __init__.py
               wavread.py
               wavwrite.py
               test_wav.py
               ...
          effects/
               __init__.py
               echo.py
               surround.py
               reverse.py
               test_echo.py
               test_surround.py
               ...
          filters/
               __init__.py
               equalizer.py
               ...
       test/
          test_sound.py
          test_echo.py


I have top-level, system tests, and module tests.
