[issue30078] "-m unittest --help" says nothing about direct script exection
New submission from Ilya Kazakevich: In Py3 it is possible to run test filelike "python -m unittest tests/test_something.py" (it is *not* possible in Py2!) Here is doc: https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.html But "--help" seems to be simply copied from Py2 because it does not have information nor examples about such execution. Please add it to "examples" section at least because this type of usage is very useful. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 291729 nosy: Ilya Kazakevich, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: "-m unittest --help" says nothing about direct script exection versions: Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30078> _______________________________________
