I don't see where you could specify a test runner on the commandline, but you can reuse the discovery code in your own scripts. For the following example I basically copied unittest.__main__.py: $ cat discover.py #!/usr/bin/env python import xmlrunner __unittest = True from unittest.main import main, TestProgram, USAGE_AS_MAIN TestProgram.USAGE = USAGE_AS_MAIN main(module=None, testRunner=xmlrunner.XMLTestRunner(output='test-reports')) $ cat test_alpha.py import unittest class T(unittest.TestCase): def test_alpha(self): pass def test_beta(self): self.assertEquals(["a", "b", "c"], ["a", "B", "c"]) $ ./discover.py discover Running tests... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- .F ====================================================================== FAIL [0.001s]: test_beta (test_alpha.T) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/somewhere/over/the/rainbow/discover/test_alpha.py", line 7, in test_beta self.assertEquals(["a", "b", "c"], ["a", "B", "c"]) AssertionError: Lists differ: ['a', 'b', 'c'] != ['a', 'B', 'c'] First differing element 1: b B - ['a', 'b', 'c'] ? ^ + ['a', 'B', 'c'] ? ^ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 2 tests in 0.002s FAILED (failures=1) Generating XML reports... $ ls discover.py test_alpha.py test_alpha.pyc test-reports $ ls test-reports/ TEST-test_alpha.T.xml $ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
