mock module do not install mock/test files

[kloczek]

I have some difficulties with mock package.
I'm trying to package it as rpm and Solaris IPS packages so I'm doing all from non-root account.
Part of every package build procedure is execution of the test suite if it is only possible.
And here is the problem. Looks like setuptools setup.py build do not prepares in build/lib mock/tests content and than setup.py install --root </install/prefix> is not installing those files as well so by this pytest started with $PYTHONPATH pointing to python site lib/arch directories inside </install/prefix> fails because is not able to find mock.tests files.

Can someone help a bit and have look on https://github.com/testing-cabal/mock and tell why in this case what is specified in setup.{py,cfg} is not preparing in buil/lib content of the mock/tests?

Probably because this subpackage is not listed in setup.cfg.

Can you point on some example where something like that is done?
