place tests outside the package

The tests are located within the module ballpark.tests. It is a common convention to place tests outside the package, usually in a directory tests. They can still be distributed with the package, by adding a file MANIFEST.in.

We can also leave them where they are, but exclude them from the setup.py, e.g:

setup(
    ...
    packages=find_packages(exclude=['tests*', 'tests.*', '*.tests']),
)

Either way, we should avoid importing them:

python-ballpark/ballpark/__init__.py

Line 1 in 0b871cd

from . import notation, shortcuts, statistics, tests

It seems to me that tests would better be included in the file MANIFEST.in, so that they be included in the source distribution , and thus be available on PyPI. I agree to not import tests within the package itself.
