There are lots of other variations on this cool script. You can test
just a package:

   python test.py Zope.App.OFS.Services

The script is willing to run pychecker for you.

It produces nice informative import errors.

It can be used as a module to allow post-mortem debugging of
test failures:

   import pdb, test
   test.debug("Zope.App.OFS.Services")
   pdb.pm()

I guess once dev.zope.org catches up from this morning's maintenance work,
it would be nice for someone to update:
http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ComponentArchitecture/RunningUnitTests
which is woefully out of date.
