The trivial solution would be to piggyback your tests into the tests module of an actual Django app. This would mean the tests for your utility folder will get mixed in with the tests for a specific application, but if you have a 'core/root' type application, the confusion shouldn't be too extreme. A slightly better solution is to make your utility folder appear to be an application. Put an empty models.py file in your utility folder, and add the utility folder to INSTALLED_APPS. This won't affect the operation of Django - since there are no models, the utility folder won't appear anywhere - but Django will be able to find the tests. A third, slightly more complex solution would be to override the test runner to modify the test discovery procedure. At present, the test finder looks in the tests module for each installed app; this could easily be modified to include other directories.
