[TIP] Error with virtuelenv and tox can't find '__main__' module in '..... virtualenv.py '

[Pierre Thibault]

Hello,

I am new to tox. I read to doc at
http://tox.testrun.org/en/latest/example/pytest.html to get started but I am
stuck with an error.

I have a simple Python project with a layout like that:

TestPython
    src
        calc.py
        setup.py
        tox.ini
    tests
        test_calc.py


My setup.py and tox.ini are as follow:

setup.py:
from distutils.core import setup

setup(name='calc',
      version='1.0',
      py_modules=['calc'],
      )



tox.ini:
[tox]
envlist = py26,py27
[testenv]
changedir=tests
deps=pytest
commands=
  py.test \
    --basetemp={envtmpdir}  \ # py.test tempdir setting
    []                        # substitute with tox' positional arguments


Calling tox from src, I have this error:

Do you have an idea how I can fix this problem?
