python: Run coverage on folder with tests in another folder (Eclipse PyDev)

Question

I have my python modules in a folder A, but my tests in a folder B. When using coverage in Eclipse Pydev, how can I make this setup work?

Things tried:

Currently if I use A for the folder, got 0% coverage;
If I link B into the project and it sees my test classes as code classes.
Then I tried to copy all my tests over into A and run it again, still 0% coverage.

if you want the python compiler to know where they are you can simply add their path to sys.path, is this what you are looking for?

EDIT: try using something like

sys.path.append(r"C:\path\to\tests")
