[Pandas-dev] Unit test reorganization

[Wes McKinney]

hi folks,

I have a few questions about the test suite. As context, I note that
test_series.py is now 8200 lines and test_frame.py 17000 lines.

Big #1 question is, how strongly do you feel about *shipping* the test
suite in site-packages? Some other libraries with sprawling and
complex test suites have chosen not to ship them:
https://github.com/zzzeek/sqlalchemy

Independently, I would support and help with starting a judicious
reorganization of the contents of pandas/tests. So I'm thinking like

tests/
    dataframe/
    series/
    algorithms/
    internals/
    tseries/

and so forth.

Thoughts?
