I made a generic tool that looks for a suite called "suite", or a
dictionary called "suites" in a module called "test"... It just runs
whatever it finds.. It's pretty simple, but if you want it, you could
probably modify it fairly easily to take a module name as a
parameter..

Not at all. I'm often working with many different libraries at once, and
I want to be able to test them independently, or test the whole lot of
whatever's relevent to my program..

:) I know brm is bicycle repair man.. What's ast? Abstract syntax tree? 
how's the project coming, btw? :)
