Hi Remi,

How about this:

	import unittest
	class MyTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
		def test_something(self):
		pass

	tests = unittest.defaultTestLoader.loadTestsFromTestCase(MyTestCase)
	output = open('/tmp/output-file.txt', 'w')
	unittest.TextTestRunner(output).run(tests)
	output.close()

You can use other methods of unitttest.defaultTestLoader to load tests in 
different ways, e.g. 'loadTestsFromModule()' or 'loadTestsFromName()'.

Best wishes,

-Steve
