Have you tried if the tests are run when moving the test-file into a new subdirectory "tests/"? This would result in much less code.

I'm afraid not. I'm no pythonista, but these tests are written for pytest, not in the more vanilla unittest which setup.py expects, I think. I tested moving it to tests out as you suggest, to no avail.

Thanks,
