Likely, there are many ways to execute tests for your package.
I am using "setuptools" for packaging (an extension of Python's standard "disutils"). Its "setup.py" supports the "test" command. This means, properly set up, I can run tests with "python setup.py test".
That can solve the testing issue, I guess, even though it feels weird to me that the most straightforward way doesn't work.
But testing is not the only issue. Often I'd like to start the Python interpreter to load one of the modules in the package to try some things out, or write a little script to do the same. These things are very natural to me when writing Python code, so it seems very strange to me that there's no easy way when working on a packages.
