Getting PyUnit to run Package Test Modules

[Casey McGinty]

I came up with this solution based off of the __import__ python reference
page. If I missed anything let me know.

def suite():
   # create TestSuite object
   alltests = unittest.TestSuite()
   # load all modules define in the module list
   for name in mod_to_test:
      print name
      mod = __import__(name)
      components = name.split('.')
      for comp in components[1:]:
         print comp
         mod = getattr(mod,comp)
      alltests.addTest(unittest.findTestCases(mod))
   return alltest
