It's pretty common for python packages to install their test modules.

Bug 366203 was about banning installation of "test" or "tests" directories at the top-level under site-packages. Portage does not do that; they are installed under the "portage" namespace.

Someone might want to run the test suite from an installed copy of Portage. That is currently possible to do like so:

python3.10 -m portage.tests.runTests
