Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com> added the comment:

IMHO it would be better to tweak regrtest so that it understand 
test_file.TestClass.test_method, possibly supporting wildcards.
E.g.:
  - ./python -m test test_subprocess.POSIXProcessTestCase
  - ./python -m test test_subprocess.POSIXProcessTestCase.test_pass_fds
  - ./python -m test '*codecencoding*'
  - ./python -m test 'test_subprocess.C*'

The -x/--exclude option could be extended to support this notation too and make 
possible to exclude specific tests classes/methods.
Wildcards are less flexible than regex, but I think they are good enough for 
our use case and simpler to use.
