"""
An alternative Django ``TEST_RUNNER`` which uses unittest2 test discovery from
a base path specified in settings, rather than requiring all tests to be in
``tests`` module of an app.

If you just run ``./manage.py test``, it'll discover and run all tests
underneath the ``TEST_DISCOVERY_ROOT`` setting (a path). If you run
``./manage.py test full.dotted.path.to.test_module``, it'll run the tests in
that module (you can also pass multiple modules).
