[Tutor] How to? Using the GUI interface of PyUnit under Windows (XP)

[Kent Johnson]

I think if your tests are in a package, you can run them in unittestgui by 
giving the full package name of the test suite function. Of course the 
package will have to be in your sys.path. e.g.
mypackage/
   __init__.py   # needed to create a package
   mymodule.py
     contains mytest()

then in unittestgui tell it to run mypackage.mymodule.mytest
