  Okay, found, in python/tests/Makefile.am !
I was using TESTS to holds the list of python tests. And this is also
used for "make check" as a list of binaries to run, but at that point
the modules are not installed, hence the errors. I renamed that variable.
The proper way is to "make tests" this will declare the PYTHONPATH and
run the regression tests.
  Thanks for the report,

  BTW I expect the next release python support to break quite a bit,
the makefile code is not portable at the moment, I will give instructions,

Daniel
