While most test suites are a tree with test_*.py files, there are cases where being able to define the discovery for a subtree in the package __init__.py file comes handy. A poc implementation is available at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~canonical-isd-qa/selenium-simple-test/trunk/view/head:/src/sst/tests/test_loader.py http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~canonical-isd-qa/selenium-simple-test/trunk/view/head:/src/sst/loader.py It allows test writers to define their own discovery when needed (including a specific edge case for the project mentioned above: test scripts that should not be imported at load time). It also addresses http://bugs.python.org/issue16662
