move tests alongside code modules?

[Tylar]

This is a matter of preference, but I prefer to have the test code in the same directories as the module code. Would it be okay with everyone to move the tests alongside the code instead of in a /test/ directory? Here is a demonstration of the options:

1. tests separate

   .
   ├── /pyobis/
   │   ├── occurrences
   │   │   └── occurrences.py
   │   ├── obisutils.py
   └── tests
       ├── test_occurrence.py
       └── test_obisutils.py
   

2. tests alongside

   .
   ├── /pyobis/
       ├── occurrences
       │   ├── occurrences.py
       │   └── occurrences_test.py
       ├── obisutils.py
       └── obisutils_test.py
   

I prefer (2). What do ya'll think?

I don't have a strong preference. Usually, for compiled code, I do prefer open (2)*. For non-compiled code I OK with both (1) or (2).

* IMO compiled code must ship the tests with the code so it can be tested in the end user machine. Option (2) makes that easier.
