I would recommend using tox [0] to run your test script, and setting up an
entry point in your `setup.py` [1] so that your `main` command is
"installed" when you install the package.
This also means that regular users of your package will be able to run the
script by just typing the command name you choose, instead of needing to
know exactly where the package got installed.

tox handles setting up a virtualenv & installing your packages into it,
which means in the context of your tox run, when your test script calls out
to your `main` "entry point" using `subprocess.call` it will be available
in the local $PATH
