[Pyunit-interest] Verbosity levels in output

[Dinu G. <gh...@da...>]

Steve, 

thanks for your previous reply! Now for something different...

In the Python CVS tree I find in test_support.py the following 
snippet:

  def run_unittest(testclass):
      """Run tests from a unittest.TestCase-derived class."""
      if verbose:
          runner = unittest.TextTestRunner(sys.stdout, verbosity=2)
      else:
          runner = BasicTestRunner()
      [...]

Unfortunately, I can't find any piece of code that would allow
for the verbosity keyword argument, certainly not in the 1.3.1
or 1.2.0 distributions of PyUnit. OTOH, there seem to be a few
classes like VerboseTextTestRunner in 1.3.1, but they aren't 
mentioned in the HTML documentation. So, I'm a bit confused...

In general, what I'd like to have is an adjustable verbosity
level as shown in the code snippet above, that would, e.g., 
allow to suppress or not printing (the first line of) the doc 
strings of the test functions.

Oh, now I see that the Python CVS tree has its own unittest.py 
module, that *does* specify this verbosity argument. How comes 
then, this is not in the 1.3.1 distribution? Is it going to be 
added in the next one an when will that be? I'm sure there 
won't be two different versions of PyUnit, one inside and one 
outside of the Python distro... isn't it?

Thanks,

Dinu
