MANUAL does not describe testtools.run support for discovery

[Robert Collins]

And it should.

James, I'm happy to write this up, but as python-discover isn't in lucid I need some more tuits before I can experience it myself.

Perhaps you could give me a sample command line invocation of testtools.run w/discover, and I'll turn that into prose.

thanks,
Rob

The basic is

  python -m testtools.run discover

I think you can specify a path for the root of the discovery with

  python -m testtools.run discover path

There are also a couple of options, one for a pattern to match on the
modules, defaulting to "test_*.py" I believe. That means
"tests/__init__.py" won't be found.

I can experiment more if you want to do more than point to 2.7 unittest
documentation.

Thanks,

James

Turns out that the help in the current patch doesn't show the discover
text - search for AS_MAIN in testtools/run.py to see what I mean.
