Hi,

Consider these two files:

,---- mytest.py -----
| #!/usr/bin/env python
| import unittest
| 
| class myTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
|     def test_foo(self):
|       pass
| 
| # Somehow important according to pyunit documentation
| def suite():
|     return unittest.makeSuite(myTestCase)
`----

,---- runtest ---
| #!/usr/bin/env python
| import unittest
| 
| # Find and import tests
| modules_to_test =  [ "mytest" ]
| map(__import__, modules_to_test)
| 
| # Runs all tests in test/ directory
| def suite():
|     alltests = unittest.TestSuite()
|     for name in modules_to_test:
|         alltests.addTest(unittest.findTestCases(sys.modules[name]))
|     return alltests
| 
| if __name__ == '__main__':
|     unittest.main(defaultTest='suite')
`----


if I run runtest without arguments, it works. But according to runtest
--help, I should also be able to do

,----
| $ ./runtest mytest
| Traceback (most recent call last):
|   File "./runtest", line 20, in <module>
|     unittest.main()
|   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/unittest.py", line 816, in __init__
|     self.parseArgs(argv)
|   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/unittest.py", line 843, in parseArgs
|     self.createTests()
|   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/unittest.py", line 849, in createTests
|     self.module)
|   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/unittest.py", line 613, in loadTestsFromNames
|     suites = [self.loadTestsFromName(name, module) for name in names]
|   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/unittest.py", line 584, in loadTestsFromName
|     parent, obj = obj, getattr(obj, part)
| AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'mytest'
`----


Why doesn't this work?

Best,

   -Nikolaus
