As mentioned in previous email, Avocado is not executing the code to discover the tests, therefor it fails to analyze the `test_example.py`, because there is an unknown import. The first one works for me because `apricot` is a local import (meaning it's in PYTHONPATH, because it's the current directory).

Actually extending PYTHONPATH is cleaner than extending it programatically via `sys.path`. The right solution is to deploy your subclass library.
