Hi,

I’m running pytest which needs access to `/usr/bin/mongod`. What path is the mongo executable accessible on if I add it with the docker image command? Is it at all? Or do I need to install it separately?

On a sidenote, I am runnig pytest via `python setup.py pytest` which does not take advantage of the dependencies cache. Is there any way to speed up the test, by caching the eggs as it does on my local machine?

Thanks!
