[IPython-dev] How to add tests in IPython/external

[Jörgen Stenarson]

Hi,

I'm considering adding some tests to Itpl in IPython/external to 
investigate unicode issues in that module. But after adding a tests 
submodule in the Itpl directory I can't run those tests because nose 
crashes when it can't import pexepct. Any ideas on how to solve this?

C:\python\external> python ipython-js\IPython\scripts\iptest 
IPython.external -v
