[New-bugs-announce] [issue5995] unittest command line behaviour

[Michael Foord]

New submission from Michael Foord <michael at voidspace.org.uk>:

This patch adds a verbosity keyword argument to unittest.main - so you
can do:

    if __name__ == '__main__':
       unittest.main(verbosity=2)

It also has a minor fix allowing you to specify test modules / classes
from the command line. This enables unittest to be used like this:

    python -m unittest test_module
    python -m unittest test_module.TestClass

Which is quite funky.
