unittest.shortDescription() returns only the first line of the test method's docstring.
Is there a way to change this behavior, e.g. to display the entirety of the docstring, or to display another message ?
Would I need to override shortDescription() ?
EDIT: I did know that shortDescription() takes no arguments (besides the implicit object reference), but I was very unclear in the wording of my question.  What I'm really looking for is pointers to how to override shortDescription() and get at, say, the entire contents of the docstring.  Thanks !
unittest.shortDescription() takes no arguments. You would have to override it to get the entire docstring.
How to extend/customize unittest's shortDescription()?
