Hi,

I don't quite understand how -m option is used. And it is difficult to
search for -m in google. Could anybody provide me with an example on
how to use this option?

python -m test
at a command line runs the regression tests in the test package
python -m test -v test_difflib
runs test.test_difflib in verbose mode.

I get for both :
"/usr/bin/python: test is a package and cannot be directly executed."

What gives?

(Official stable Debian distribution. Python 2.7)

For me, 3.3 is default Python.

Look in the 2.7 doc for 'test' and I believe it will tell you that you need to write 'test.regrtest'.
