Build-time testing



Hello.
Many Python modules ship unit tests which do not require module
instalation or user interaction and so can be run automatically during the
build time. They can be a very good QA tool, but it looks like they are
not used in all packages.

python-pylons: not used
python-pybabel: not used
pylint: used, but produce errors which are ignored
python-sphinx: apparently used

In many cases $PYTHON setup.py test (for all supported $PYTHON's) is
enough to run the tests and any errors mean that something is wrong with
the environment (provided the tests are correct).

Shouldn't we have some written recommendations (or even policy) on this matter?
