I'm not calling run_tests.sh from the nova subdirectory. I'm saying that
from the location where nova_tests.sh is located, i can import
connection.py.
However, when i try to import connection.py from with cd=nova/virt/libvirt,
it fails. The funny thing is i can import all the modules int that
directory perfectly, except connection.py.
