Can non-DD see the source code somewhere?

IIUC you have a Python package  and C extensions; when running the tests 
during the package build (or is it against the installed package?), the 
C extensions are not found.  One explanation for that could be that the 
C extensions are built in a “build” directory instead of inside the 
Python package, and thus aren’t readily importable.  If the build uses 
distutils/setuptools, there is an option to control that:

# file setup.cfg next to setup.py
[build_ext]
inplace = 1
