To install a package that includes a setup.py file, open a command or terminal window and: cd into the root directory where setup.py is located. Enter: python setup.py install.
You can just specify test_suite="tests", and it will pick up everything recursively. Note that each nested directory will need to have an __init__.py file in it. You need to do from setuptools import setup instead of from distutils. core import setup for this option to exist.
As a first step, pip needs to get metadata about a package (name, version, dependencies, and more). It collects this by calling setup.py egg_info . The egg_info command generates the metadata for the package, which pip can then consume and proceed to gather all the dependencies of the package.
test_suite is a feature of setuptools. Replace distutils with it:
from setuptools import setup
