Yes, this is how I import config.py . But I do not want the tests and
the script in the same folder. I want the tests in a subfolder, and
then I want the tests to find the script. So I have to change the
PYTHONPATH somehow?

Okay, that works. In my test file, I have: 

import sys, os
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath(os.pardir))

which adds the parent folder to the PYTHONPATH.
