Sounds like you didn't properly set up your python packages. It has to be
possible to import your tests from python, which is not the case unless
__init__.py exists at the root of each python package.

oeqa.selftest is a python namespace package. Copy
poky/meta/lib/oeqa/selftest/__init__.py
to poky_root/meta-mylayer/lib/oeqa/selftest/, and either also copy it
to poky_root/meta-mylayer/lib/oeqa/selftest/subdirs/ or
touch poky_root/meta-mylayer/lib/oeqa/selftest/subdirs/__init__.py.
