Thanks Marius

Even though I'm just now getting my head around testing with Pytest,
I've decided to put the tests in a separate directory called unit_tests,
which is at the same level as the directory containing the file being
tested.

I don't have any __init__.py in the test directory.

I don't know if my setup is optimal yet, but I'm able to run the tests I've
written and got reasonable results. Getting tests written and able to run
is a significant first step, even though there are still many questions in
my head.
The main thing is that I'm testing- finally.

Thanks- all
