sorry I will restate it without typos (hopefully)

of course looking at my current code it doesn't currently  look for 
files or directories from the command   at the end of unit test runner 
where i test

if __name__=='__main__'

but the guts of the class are setup to be able to accept directories or 
single files from the command line and to do the right thing (and also 
of course the defaults also do the right thing ;-)...

More work needed! I guess I just remember doing more to the code than i did
