# modified copy of some functions from test/regrtest.py from PyXml

""" Copyright (c) 2003-2005 LOGILAB S.A. (Paris, FRANCE).
http://www.logilab.fr/ -- mailto:contact@logilab.fr  

Run tests.

This will find all modules whose name match a given prefix in the test
directory, and run them.  Various command line options provide
additional facilities.

Command line options:

-v: verbose -- run tests in verbose mode with output to stdout
-q: quiet -- don't print anything except if a test fails
-t: testdir -- directory where the tests will be found
-x: exclude -- add a test to exclude
-p: profile -- profiled execution

If no non-option arguments are present, prefixes used are 'test',
'regrtest', 'smoketest' and 'unittest'.
