How to run only specific test methods?

[Piotr Dobrogost]

Is it possible to configure 'Python unittest' run configuration which uses PyDev test runner so that only specific test methods are being run? If not is it possible using other test runners - Nose or Py.test?

Could http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3121107/is-test-suite-deprecated-in-pyunit/7368528#7368528 be the answer?

In addition to Mark's answer, one more reason to build your own suite() is if you are dynamically building tests.

Also, it took me a while to figure out how to get PyDev to pick up the suite and run it in the graphical test runner. The trick is to put in a method like so:

def load_tests(loader, tests, pattern):
    return suite()

Such a method gets picked up the graphical test runner.
