Sorry I do remember that issue in the past, the unittest.main takes over the
cli variables in order to select modules to run
python selenium-google-test.py --help
so unittest is assuming yankees is a test module, you can override this
functionality however with:
unittest.main(argv=['mytestapp'])
this will cause the default run all test modules, and allow you to access
the argv
Hope that helps
