Python: Where do unittests go?

Considerations

The filename

It's basically between test_foo.py and foo_test.py, though one might argue that if tests are in a tests/ directory, you shouldn't need to prefix/suffix each file with test because the path already has it. However, it seems like many testing frameworks — such as nose — really want that.

Why do these ping packets not get dropped?

Why do these ping packets not get dropped?

See the attached ping outputs, where I get hilariously bad ping times, including this beauty:

64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=425 ttl=55 time=92255.756 ms

This is on mobile.

There's a corresponding ping to the phone, but it tends to be at about ~2ms. The phone reports terrible signal ("-107 dBm * 3 ASU") for about the first half (up to the part where I'm getting 90 second pings) at which point I move to a window, and my signal improves drastically to "-85 dBm * 14 ASU" (full bars); regardless, the entire time the phone reports that it has "(DC)HSDPA+ * 42.2 Mbps", which I understand to be the best my phone can do (Samsung Galaxy Nexus). Even after moving to the high signal location, the high ping times continue. It's not until I bounce (I go into airplane mode briefly) the antennas on my phone that things improve.
