Georg Brandl added the comment:
I don't think this feature is generally useful enough to be included.
* Since you need to modify the test code anyway (adding the try-except), it is probably just as much work to do the selection there.
* Why only add selection of subtests, and not of all tests?
In addition, the patch would have to be reworked: eval()ing an environment variable is not acceptable.
BTW, I think the commonly used term for this is "bisection".
