       Tools for creating mock test objects (objects simulating external resources).
 
+Command Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+The unittest module can be used from the command line to run tests from
+modules, classes or even individual test methods::
+
+   python -m unittest test_module1 test_module2
+   python -m unittest test_module.TestClass
+   python -m unittest test_module.TestClass.test_method
+
+You can pass in a list with any combination of module names, and fully qualified class or
+method names.
+
+You can run tests with more detail (higher verbosity) by passing in the -v flag::
+
+   python-m unittest -v test_module
+
+For a list of all the command line options::
+
+   python -m unittest -h
