Title:
  unittest discover crashes with: module incorrectly imported from
  'xxx'. Expected 'xxx. Is this module globally installed?

Status in “python2.7” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I got the similar error on touch device as well today morning before I
  reflashed it.

  sudo apt-get install unity-autopilot
  autopilot run unity.tests.test_panel.PanelCrossMonitorsTests.test_hovering_indicators_on_multiple_monitors

  On touch I used:
  [unknown what I had done before on the device]
  adb shell
  apt-get install unity8-autopilot
  exit
  phablet-test-run -n unity8

  There the error message was the same except for module+directories
  referring to unity8.

  I've verified that at least Python 2.7 2.7.5-8ubuntu4 works as
  intended, and 2.7.6-2 is broken.
