Tests do not run due to absolute import of OSDManager.

I installed xtreemfs_client via setup.py. So from xtreemfs_client.OSDManager import OSDManager works.

However, if I try to run the tests on my machine the following exception is raised:

Error

This is because you use an absolute import to import OSDManager:

import OSDManager
import div_util
import verify

Since '.../site-packages/xtreemfs_client/' is not in my PATH but only '.../site-packages/', Python cannot find it.

One solution could be to replace your imports with:

from xtreemfs_client.OSDManager import OSDManager
from xtreemfs_client import div_util
from xtreemfs_client import verify
