Hello,

Since trial has stopped adding the working directory to sys.path, it seems very sensible to also stop accepting paths as a way to specify what tests to run. Instead, only package, module, class, or test method names should be accepted.

Please add your thoughts (reasoned arguments, not +1s and -1s) to this ticket:

Thanks for bringing this up, JP. As it happens I disagree right now (comments on the ticket as requested) but this is something we should try to make a coherent decision on to ensure the command-line tooling is as consistent as possible :-).
