Strange test error

[Trurl Wrydan]

Hi there!

I am trying to run the tests in my pyramid project. I have not changed the tests.py file in any way and yet I am getting the error below. The project uses the reportlab package but it's not referenced by the tests. What can I do to work around this issue?

Thanks,
TW

This issue was fixed by specifying test_suite="prodash.tests" in setup.py. Thanks to wiggy on the #pyramid channel.
