They should be inside the module. That way, you can check an installed module is ok by running e.g. "python -m mypackage.tests". Any other choice makes testing installed modules more cumbersome. > outside the module like this: > > https://github.com/pypa/sampleproject/tree/master/tests There is no actual reason to do that except win a couple kilobytes if you are distributing your package on floppy disks for consumption on Z80-based machines with 64KB RAM. Even Python *itself* puts its test suite inside the standard library, not outside it (though some Linux distros may strip it away). Try "python -m test.regrtest" (again, this may fail if your distro decided to ship the test suite in a separate package). The PyP"A" should definitely fix its sample project to reflect good practices.
