## Classes

class TestSuite
  A command-line program that runs a set of tests; this is primarily for making test modules conveniently executable.

  ### Methods

  __init__(self, attrs)
  addTests(self, packages)
  generateUsage(self)
  parseCommandLine(self)
    Parse the test script's command line, taken from the 'script_args' instance attribute (which defaults to 'sys.argv[1:]'). This is first processed for options that set attributes of the TestSuite instance. Then, it is scanned for test arguments.
  runTests(self)
  showHelp(self, tests)
  showTests(self)
