I'm building Python modules using SWIG and CMake, and have run into a problem running Python unit tests for these built modules. I can not find a slick way to set the Python module search path when running the test. The usual trick of setting sys.path in the scripts will not work here because I don't know the location of the build directory. I've tried updating PYTHONPATH in my CMakeList.txt file but that change isn't picked up when the test is executed. I could create the unit test modules at build time using CONFIGURE_FILE replacing @CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR@ in a sys.path line, but that seems heavy-handed. Has anyone else run into this problem and found better a solution?
