The CVS version has this functionality, and it will be in the next release.
Fred Drake talked me into adding it a while ago.

So in the next release you can expect that the default output is '.', 'E' or
'F' for each test, followed by a summary of any errors. With a '-q' (quiet)
command-line flag, only the errors will be printed, and with a '-v' (verbose)
flag, the output will be as it is in 1.3.1.

I'll be removing the JUnitTextTestRunner in the next release, because this
configurability of output levels obsoletes it.

If anyone cares to look at the CVS version, comments would be gratefully
received. There have been several changes, the most interesting of which is
that 'unittest.main()', when called without arguments, now locates and runs
all of the tests in the current module.

Best wishes,

-Steve
