here's an example from numpy/core/tests/

from the source directory:

/* Tests dont exist in the build directory */

from the install directory:

brucewayne at broo:/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/numpy/core/tests$ ls -l
total 244
drwxr-sr-x 2 root staff  4096 2009-08-20 16:19 data

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 11255 2009-08-17 18:01 test_unicode.py

and after a fresh removal of the install and build dirs, and a rebuild
and reinstall:

brucewayne at broo:/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/numpy/core/tests$ ls -l
total 244
drwxr-sr-x 2 root staff  4096 2009-09-25 12:20 data
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff   465 2009-03-29 07:24 test_blasdot.py

-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 10861 2009-04-05 04:09 test_defmatrix.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff  3306 2009-04-05 04:09 test_dtype.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff  1769 2009-03-29 07:24 test_errstate.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff  2101 2009-03-29 07:24 test_memmap.py

-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff  4591 2009-03-29 07:24 test_records.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 42700 2009-04-05 04:19 test_regression.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff  3768 2009-04-05 04:09 test_scalarmath.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 16944 2009-04-05 04:09 test_ufunc.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 24276 2009-04-05 04:09 test_umath.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 11255 2009-04-05 04:09 test_unicode.py

so, something went amok probably a few installs back. This seems to
have cleared it up.

Thanks Chuck!
