| It would be really nice if unittest.TestLoader.loadTestsFromNames accepted module and class names. My main motivation for that is so that I can do: python -m unittest module_name There is no backwards compatibility issue as currently this doesn't work... Really easy to add. | ||

| Actually they do - it is an obscure bug in the way the module is specified in TestProgram that prevents this from working. The code in parseArgs that is currently: if len(args) > 0: self.testNames = args Should probably be: if len(args) > 0: self.testNames = args self.module = None Anyway - I'll report and fix that as a separate issue. :-) |
