[New-bugs-announce] [issue5989] unittest.TestLoader.loadTestsFromNames should accept module / class name

[Michael Foord]

New submission from Michael Foord <michael at voidspace.org.uk>:

It would be really nice if unittest.TestLoader.loadTestsFromNames
accepted module and class names.

My main motivation for that is so that I can do:

    python -m unittest module_name

There is no backwards compatibility issue as currently this doesn't work...

Really easy to add.
