In numpytest.py, set_package_path is provided for handling path
changes while doing unit tests. It reads
def set_package_path(level=1):
""" Prepend package directory to sys.path.
set_package_path should be called from a test_file.py that
satisfies the following tree structure:
<somepath>/<somedir>/test_file.py
Then the first existing path name from the following list
<somepath>/build/lib.<platform>-<version>
<somepath>/..
is prepended to sys.path.
...
However, the line that supposedly calculates "somepath/.." is
d = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(testfile)))
which calculates "somepath". Which is wrong: the docstring, the code
or my interpretation?
