I'm pretty new at this, but here's what I have at the head of all my
test/test_foo.py files:
import sys
sys.path.append('..')
It works. I wonder if inserting it at the 0 spot in the list is the problem
(as opposed to the end like I'm doing)? The first item in the path list
appears to be something special as I read the docs.
