DescriptionThe test design [1] describes a procedure for running a single
test. This procedure does not work for drj.
AnalysisI'm running python 2.2 on FreeBSD (installed from ports). This
version of python comes with a unittest.py. It looks like that
this version of unittest.py does not quite support the
invocation mode. It almost does (in the case where a single
test case is specified it looks for test methods called
"test..." and not "runTest" as well). This might be considered
a bug in unittest.py.

Workaround:
python test_message.py wrap.runTest
How foundmanual_test
