Does that makes more sense as a backstore? ;)

Your example for a setup.py shows the following:<br>
<br>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<pre><div class="line" id="LC14"><span class="p"></span></div><div
class="line" id="LC15"> <span class="n">test_suite</span><span
class="o">=</span><span class="s">'somepackage.tests.get_suite'</span></div></pre>
Is test_suite a setuptools extension to distutils? Is it required to be
a callable and will distutils2 use the same mechanism? If so then
unittest(2) ought to have some support for it rather than being
something that is *only* useable from setup.py.<br>
<br>
Why not just:<br>
<br>
tests='somepackage.tests'<br>
<br>
Or even default to test discovery?<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
