That's expected.  Whenever you run Python, the current directory is
added to the import path.  connection.py has several absolute imports
that it depends on being able to import; when you run from the top-level
of the repo, things like "nova.virt.libvirt.utils" can be found, whereas
importing from the nova/virt/libvirt directory means that
"nova.virt.libvirt" makes no sense.
