--verbosity=[0|1|2].

Erm... the docstring for the module: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/ We need to walk a fine line here. If Python's documentation was poor, there would be a good argument to be made here, but Python has extensive documentation on the doctest and unittest modules. There really isn't anything served by us duplicating Python's documentation - in fact, it could be considered detrimental, because it suggests that Django's test framework is somehow different to Python's. > one more issue: > with our server-setup, it´s much easier to define a seperate user for > the test-database (instead of using the user from the production- > database). is that possible? Not at present. The test framework uses the main database login to get access so it can create the test database; moving this into a separate user could pose some interesting difficulties. I'm also hesitant to start duplicating all the DB related settings to handle a test login.
