I will definitely not go back to running tests from package root
directory (due to . in sys.path or 2to3 issues).

I might consider copying egg-info dir to the build dir, though.

What I suggest to do right now is adding this line to debian/rules:

export PYBUILD_BEFORE_TEST=cp -r foo.egg-info {build_dir}


and about `setup.py test` vs. `pythonX.Y -m nose` - I'd love to have a
standard API for running tests, but that's something you need to talk
with Python upstream

As far as I can tell, this is caused by a change in pybuild: instead of
running something like "python setup.py test" from the toplevel source
directory (which works), it runs "python2.7 -m nose" from
.pybuild/pythonX.Y_2.7/build.  The latter directory is missing
blockdiag.egg-info, which means pkg_resources doesn't find any entry
points.  I'm tempted to reassign this to dh-python.

Cheers,
