The situation is usual: you have a python module, let's call it bravo, and a set of unittest-based unit tests in bravo.test. Now, there's nothing like "runtest" or whatever to run the test suite. Of course, you could run each of the tests individually, but maybe there's twenty of them and you're lazy, or maybe they don't even contain the magical "if name=main then runtest" spell.
Twisted to the rescue! Just run this:
trial modulename
or
trial modulename.test
If you don't have Twisted (of which trial is a part), you can use the following snippet:
import glob, unittest, os, imp
suite = unittest.TestSuite()
testloader = unittest.TestLoader()
for test in glob.glob("bravo/tests/test_*.py"):
name = os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(test))[0]
module = imp.load_source(name, test)
tests = testloader.loadTestsFromModule(module)
suite.addTest(tests)
unittest.TextTestRunner().run(suite)
