Others have explained the "don't cover your tests" mindset. I like
coverage-measuring my tests, for the simple reason that it gives me
assurance that the tests are actually running. If you've ever
copy-pasted a test to make a new similar test, but forgot to change
the method name, you've had tests that don't run. Coverage can find
those problems.<br>
<br>
You'll have to show us how you are running the tests. Coverage.py
by default does not try to exclude test_*.py files.<br>
