> python -m unittest test.test_httpservers.BaseHTTPServerTestCase.test_handler But I want to execute test from my own patched copy of test_httpservers.py with whatever python I want. I.e. > C:\Python27\python.exe Z:\python-cgi-tests\test_httpservers.py ... I prefer to explicitly specify it in command line to be sure that I execute the right test suite. I also don't feel like typing `-m unittest test.test_httpservers.` each time when there is shell completion, and every decent file manager has keyboard shortcuts for inserting active filename into command line prompt. You know - I am not a core contributor to maintain a bunch of batch files for all kind of operations, so I am interested to make testing process more intuitive. I know how "TestCase" and "test_" auto discovery works. The point is to remove the need in extra typing, because test runner can add these suffix/prefixes automatically when parsing command line. @exarkun: Ok. `.` is fine - `::` was a copy paste from my old PHP test runner. ---------- nosy: +michael.foord, pitrou status: closed -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9028> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
