[Python-projects] logilab-common test issues

Hi,

As you might have seen, pytest is somewhat tailored to our internal
needs / architecture. We'll try to improve this in the next release of
logilab common.

The docstring of abspath_listdir was written as a simple documentation,
and was not meant to be run by doctest. I'll fix that quickly.

I'll have a look at that.
Thanks for the report.
