Although unit tests are highly prefered to validate correctness of a package, not
all packages have test suites that can be ran easily, and some have none at all.
To help ensure the package still works, `pythonImportsCheck` can attempt to import
the listed modules.

### Contributing guidelines
Following rules are desired to be respected:
The following rules are desired to be respected:
* Python libraries are called from `python-packages.nix` and packaged with
`buildPythonPackage`. The expression of a library should be in
`pkgs/development/python-modules/<name>/default.nix`.
* Libraries in `pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix` are sorted
alphanumerically to avoid merge conflicts and ease locating attributes.
* Python applications live outside of `python-packages.nix` and are packaged
with `buildPythonApplication`.
* Make sure libraries build for all Python interpreters.

case, when you disable tests, leave a comment explaining why.
* Commit names of Python libraries should reflect that they are Python
libraries, so write for example `pythonPackages.numpy: 1.11 -> 1.12`.
* Attribute names in `python-packages.nix` should be normalized according to
[PEP 0503](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0503/#normalized-names). This
means that characters should be converted to lowercase and `.` and `_` should
be replaced by a single `-` (foo-bar-baz instead of Foo__Bar.baz )
* Attribute names in `python-packages.nix` should be sorted alphanumerically.
* Attribute names in `python-packages.nix` as well as `pname`s should match the
library's name on PyPI, but be normalized according to [PEP

that characters should be converted to lowercase and `.` and `_` should be
replaced by a single `-` (foo-bar-baz instead of Foo__Bar.baz).
If necessary, `pname` has to be given a different value within `fetchPypi`.
