What do you mean by "exclude"?  If this were C, 
I'd say that you could just use "#if 0" around the
test blocks for when you ship production code.

The quick way is to convert:

some_test_code()

into

if None:
  some_test_code()

if that's OK with you.  That way it will never be
executed.  How else you would do it depends on your
definition of "excluded".  You could hide it in 
another module, or just cut it out altogether.
