pytest Interrupted: ImportError "No module named primes"

Question

I have changed the sys.path to ../mypkg in the test_primes.py and it works when I execute it separately (without pytest) -

python test_primes.py

But, when I do

py.test

in the src, it doesn't work

PLEASE CHECK OUT THE IMAGE FOR THE DETAILED ERROR

You probably need `python -m unittest`, see http://stackoverflow.com/a/24266885/3025981 — Ilya V. Schurov, Oct 29 '16 at 22:28
"in the source" - what is your current directory when you do that? "../mypkg" only works from one directory. Consider taking that out completely and setting an environment variable when you test. `PYTHONPATH=path/to/pkgroot:$PYTHONPATH py.test` on linuxy systems. — tdelaney, Oct 29 '16 at 23:03

I'd guess it should work fine when you stop modifying sys.path, and actually import from your package instead: from mypkg.primes import is_prime.
