Execute Unittest in Django

Question

I have written a small unit test for my django view .My project structure is like

Project_name/

         apps/

              module1/
                      tests.py
              module2/
                      tests.py

this is my dir structure i am executing the tests by using the command :

$python manage.py test_coverage module1 module2 -v2

then it executing the test nicely but now i have change dir structure little bit i have created a new directory tests/ in that i have kept my all test files

project_name/

       apps/

            module1/
                    tests/
                         test_basic.py
                         test_detail.py

Now i can able to execute those tests which are in dir with the same above command ,is their is any alternative way to execute such tests?

The simplest solution is to add __init__.py file to tests/ package containing following lines:

from .test_basic import *
from .test_detail import *

And then run all the tests with:

$ python manage.py test module1
