Description

​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/writing-code/unit-tests/ says

Quickstart

$ git clone git@github.com:YourGitHubName/django.git django-repo
$ cd django-repo/tests
$ pip install -e ..
$ pip install -r requirements/py3.txt
$ ./runtests.py

which does not work, when Django is not installed (in the virtual environment). Once we are in the tests directory (or call tests/runtests.py) os.sys.path does not contain the parent directory, so this happens:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./runtests.py", line 14, in <module>
    import django
ImportError: No module named 'django'

Setting $PYTHONPATH explicitly to the parent directory helps.
