Mike Merickel solved this...

This is because the setuptools (and nose) testrunners do not respect the
``test_suite`` stanza at the bottom of ``tests.py``; these shouldn't be
getting run unless the DSN has postgres in it, and they are getting run
regardless (under sqlite).

That brings up how to cope with running test suites that depend on
zope.testrunner features in a cross-platform way.  Currently the
bootstrap script in this package wont run under Py3.
