Without looking into the details -- I believe that your problem stems from 
having a path into the package:

> export PYTHONPATH=$(TEST_LOCATION):$(TEST_LOCATION)/testPy

The above means that a module testPy.foo can also successfully be imported 
as foo. Try changing the path to

export PYTHONPATH=$(TEST_LOCATION)

If you get failing imports change every failing import

import foo

to

from testPy import foo
