New description:
The simple django test runner looks for tests in either models.py or
tests.py. This is unfortunate for large applications since tests.py in
each app becomes rather large and unwieldy. Apps with a large number of
tests can break out their tests further by creating a method called
`suite()` that returns a `TestSuite`. This works for test separation but
because the runner still looks for test cases in models.py or tests.py it
is no longer possible to run an individual `TestCase` or
`TestCase.test_method` .
Proposal:
In addition to supporting the ability to specify tests to run as:
* `app`
* `app.TestCase`
* `app.TestCase.test_method`
also support:
* `app.module.TestCase.test_method`
* `app.module.TestCase.*`
I'm including a patch which adds this functionality.
