[pygr-notify] Issue 78 in pygr: Get rid of vague or imprecise error messages from tests

Comment #1 on issue 78 by marecki: Get rid of vague or imprecise error  
messages from tests
http://code.google.com/p/pygr/issues/detail?id=78

If runtest.py is launched without the option -b and no in-place-build files  
can be
found, it responds with

ERROR pathfix.stop: unable to import extension module: cannot import name  
cnestedlist

Given this error will likely be run into almost all end users trying to run  
tests,
such a cryptic response is unacceptable. I would like to postulate the  
following
steps to be taken to address this:

1. Whenever runtest.py is launched, have it clearly and explicitly say  
where it
pulls Pygr files from (this will also help for when -b is omitted with  
stale in-
place-build files in place);

2. Make the actual error message more descriptive;

3. Consider making in-place testing an option rather than the default, at  
least in
official release packages.
