I'm packaging up the SSL support for Python 2.3, and I'd like to be able to include the unit test for it along with the package. Ideally, I'd like to be able to say

% python setup.py build % python setup.py test and have the regrtest.py module run my tests. Any ideas (examples) of how to do that? The email package does something like this by having most of the tests in a subpackage of enum, with a shim in Lib/test for regrtest. The standalone package has a testall script, but that should really be converted to nosetests or some such.

ctypes does it in a similar way. Tests are in the Lib/ctypes/test package.
