+Command Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+The unittest module can be used from the command line to run tests from
+modules, classes or even individual test methods::
+
+ python -m unittest test_module1 test_module2
+ python -m unittest test_module.TestClass
+ python -m unittest test_module.TestClass.test_method
+
+You can pass in a list with any combination of module names, and fully
+qualified class or method names.
+
+You can run tests with more detail (higher verbosity) by passing in the -v flag::
+
+ python-m unittest -v test_module
+
+For a list of all the command line options::
+
+ python -m unittest -h
+
+.. versionchanged:: 2.7
+ In earlier versions it was only possible to run individual test methods and
+ not modules or classes.
+
+The command line can also be used for test discovery, for running all of the
+tests in a project or just a subset.

+
+Test Discovery
+--------------
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.7
+
+unittest supports simple test discovery. For a project's tests to be
+compatible with test discovery they must all be importable from the top level
+directory of the project; i.e. they must all be in Python packages.
+
+Test discovery is implemented in :meth:`TestLoader.discover`, but can also be
+used from the command line. The basic command line usage is::
+
+ cd project_directory
+ python -m unittest discover
+
+The ``discover`` sub-command has the following options:
+
+ -v, --verbose Verbose output
+ -s directory Directory to start discovery ('.' default)
+ -p pattern Pattern to match test files ('test*.py' default)
+ -t directory Top level directory of project (default to
+ start directory)
+
+The -s, -p, & -t options can be passsed in as positional arguments. The
+following two command lines are equivalent::
+
+ python -m unittest -s project_directory -p '*_test.py'
+ python -m unittest project_directory '*_test.py'
+
+Test modules and packages can customize test loading and discovery by through
+the `load_tests protocol`_.

+load_tests Protocol
+###################
+
+Modules or packages can customize how tests are loaded from them during normal
+test runs or test discovery by implementing a function called ``load_tests``.
+
+If a test module defines ``load_tests`` it will be called by
+:meth:`TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule` with the following arguments::
+
+ load_tests(loader, standard_tests, None)
+
+It should return a :class:`TestSuite`.
+
+*loader* is the instance of :class:`TestLoader` doing the loading.
+*standard_tests* are the tests that would be loaded by default from the
+module. It is common for test modules to only want to add or remove tests
+from the standard set of tests.
+The third argument is used when loading packages as part of test discovery.
+
+A typical ``load_tests`` function that loads tests from a specific set of
+:class:`TestCase` classes may look like::
+
+ test_cases = (TestCase1, TestCase2, TestCase3)
+
+ def load_tests(loader, tests, pattern):
+ suite = TestSuite()
+ for test_class in test_cases:
+ tests = loader.loadTestsFromTestCase(test_class)
+ suite.addTests(tests)
+ return suite
+
+If discovery is started, either from the command line or by calling
+:meth:`TestLoader.discover`, with a pattern that matches a package
+name then the package :file:`__init__.py` will be checked for ``load_tests``.
+
+.. note::
+
+ The default pattern is 'test*.py'. This matches all python files
+ that start with 'test' but *won't* match any test directories.
+
+ A pattern like 'test*' will match test packages as well as
+ modules.
+
+If the package :file:`__init__.py` defines ``load_tests`` then it will be
+called and discovery not continued into the package. ``load_tests``
+is called with the following arguments::
+
+ load_tests(loader, standard_tests, pattern)
+
+This should return a :class:`TestSuite` representing all the tests
+from the package. (``standard_tests`` will only contain tests
+collected from :file:`__init__.py`.)
+
+Because the pattern is passed into ``load_tests`` the package is free to
+continue (and potentially modify) test discovery. A 'do nothing'
+``load_tests`` function for a test package would look like::
+
+ def load_tests(loader, standard_tests, pattern):
+ # top level directory cached on loader instance
+ this_dir = os.path.dirname(__file__)
+ package_tests = loader.discover(start_dir=this_dir, pattern=pattern)
+ standard_tests.addTests(package_tests)
+ return standard_tests
