Running python unittest in the console

Question

I have the follwoing package structure

my-base-project
-> package1
    __init__.py
    MyScript.py
-> test
    __init__.py
    TestMyScript.py

I'd like to run the TestMyScript.py in the console. Therefore I cd in to my-base-project/test and execute python TestMyScript.py. However, I'm getting the error:

user@computer:~/my-base-project/test$ python TestMyScript.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "TestMyScript.py", line 4, in <module>
    from package1 import MyScript
ImportError: No module named package1

How do I run these tests?

why don't you put TestMyScript.py in the same folder as package1 ? — user3378649, Nov 01 '14 at 19:11
Does `user@computer:~/my-base-project$ python test/TestMyScript.py` work? — User, Nov 02 '14 at 06:10
No, `python test/TestMyScript.py` does not work. And I actually reluctant to copy a test file into a prodcution package. — toom, Nov 02 '14 at 13:29

From this SO question, consider adding the directory you need to the PYTHONPATH:

 import sys
 sys.path.append('your certain directory')

Maybe you want to add the parent directory

sys.path.append('..')
