The documentation for "unittest.TestCase" says "the standard implementation of the default 'methodName', runTest(), will run every method starting with 'test' as an individual test". However:>>> from unittest import *>>> class Test(TestCase):...     def test_method(self): pass... >>> t = Test()>>> t.run()Traceback (most recent call last):  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/unittest/case.py", line 552, in run    testMethod = getattr(self, self._testMethodName)AttributeError: 'Test' object has no attribute 'runTest'After further experimentation, I see that if my test method is called "runTest", it can be automatically discovered, but only if there are no other test- prefixed methods.Perhaps you could drop the end of the second paragraph for TestCase, so that it just reads:Each instance of TestCase will run a single base method: the method named "methodName".I think the details about the test- prefix and counting results are covered elsewhere, and in most uses you wouldn't instantiate a TestCase yourself, so changing the method name is irrelevant.Also, perhaps under "TestLoader.loadTestsFromTestCase" it should say:If no methods with the usual name prefix are found, but the "runTest" method is implemented, there will be a single test case using that method.
