The issue probably is the current directory.  Wing's test runner was 
designed when the default method of running tests was to put a call to 
unittest.main() in the test file and then to run that file from the 
command line -- which would result in the directory that the file was is 
being added to python's sys.path.

When you run tests outside of Wing, how does the directory for your 
non-test modules get added to sys.path?  One possibility to work around 
Wing's test runner's current limitations is just to add that directory 
to the Python Path via the Project Properties dialog.
