Why does django not see my tests?

Question

I've created test.py module, filled with

from django.test import TestCase
from django.test.client import Client
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.sites.models import Site

from forum.models import *

class SimpleTest(TestCase):


    def setUp(self):
        u = User.objects.create_user("ak", "[email protected]", "pwd")
        Forum.objects.create(title="forum")
        Site.objects.create(domain="test.org", name="test.org")

    def content_test(self, url, values):
        """Get content of url and test that each of items in `values` list is present."""
        r = self.c.get(url)
        self.assertEquals(r.status_code, 200)
        for v in values:
            self.assertTrue(v in r.content)

    def test(self):
        self.c = Client()
        self.c.login(username="ak", password="pwd")

        self.content_test("/forum/", ['<a href="/forum/forum/1/">forum</a>'])
        ....

and placed it in folder with my application. When i run tests by

python manage.py test forum

after creating the test database i get an answer "Ran 0 tests in 0.000s"

What am i doing wrong ?

P.S. Here is my project hierarchy:

MyProj:
    forum (it's my app):
        manage.py
        models.py
        views.py
        tests.py
        ...

I renamed test.py to tests.py. Eclipse got that this module is with tests, but answer is still "Ran 0 tests in 0.000s"

There is something not quite right if you are getting the same result after renaming the file to tests.py. How are you running the tests? Are you doing so from the command line or have you set up a custom run target using Eclipse? Please try it from the command line if you haven't already.

Also fire up Django shell (python manage.py shell) and import your tests module.

from MyProj.forum.tests import SimpleTest

Does the import work correctly?
