Sine I was also missing a "test" command for setuptools I'm faking
this kind of thing like this (in setup.py):

# test before building/installing

setupCommand = sys.argv[-1]
if setupCommand == "test":
     print "running test suite"
     cmd = "cd src; %s test_mygreatapp.py" % sys.executable
     os.system(cmd)
     sys.exit()
