Well, I asked my question too quickly. The problem is that I want to 
define a function test_suite which returns the test suite of the 
package. If I do:

def test_suite(*args):
    return NumpyTest().test(level = -1)

Then while executing the tests with setuptools, I have some infinite 
recursion (which is due to the fact that NumpyTest is importing the 
current package I guess ?). I am kind of stuck, and I feel like I 
already wasted way too much time on this.

cheers,
