Yes, or if Pythoscope can't inspect an entity for some reason, it
should not try to generate a test and log that fact.
It would also be nice if the initial inspection would log the fact
that it is ignoring things.

Note that although my testcase is a valid python script, it is not a
valid module: it can not be imported due to restrictions on Python
names.
