Do we really need to overthink something that requires a trivial alias to set up for one's own convenience? Picking a Python version (as Barry mentions) is just one of the problems. What's wrong with: alias rupytests='python3 -m unittest discover" alias runpytests2='python2 -m unittest discover" ? Don't get me wrong, I love the "discover" option and agree that it should be the recommended way to go - but isn't this largely a documentation issue?

I would personally call it a typing issue :-) "python -m unittest discover" is just too long.

Antoine.
