[New-bugs-announce] [issue22860] unittest TestProgram hard to extend

[Robert Collins]

New submission from Robert Collins:

Some users of TestProgram would like to add options (e.g. testtools.run adds --list and --load-list) but there isn't a clean point to add them without bulk copying the implementation around.

We likely need some extra extension points as well - one reasonable test would be to make sure that testtools.run's TestProgram can be made much smaller by whatever patch fixes this bug.
