Nope: that just affects finding the *names* of the tests. It does not determine the location from which they are actually imported. I tried it, and I get the same results as before (the test modules from my installed copy of Python are picked up instead of the local copies in my CVS checkout's Lib/test, apparently entirely contrary to sys.path).
