I can't find a way to execute DocTests contained in a separate README.txt file using unittest.main() function. That doesn't allow to control verbosity for debugging.
I am doing it this way in the tests.py
I could find a way to subclass TestLoader.loadTestsFromNames() by looking at the source code of undocumented TestProgram. I'd like to see this use case at least covered by documentation if not properly developed for stdlib of Python4.

The undocumented verbosity parameter?
voidspace commentedon Mar 5, 2011
If the verbosity parameter isn't sufficient (which needs documenting but that is bpo-11385) then it would need to be a feature request on DocFileSuite (part of doctest).

I need to execute doctests along with unit tests from test suite contained in tests.py file and control verbosity parameter in case something goes wrong.

Anatoly, does the verbosity parameter work for you? If not then any feature request / change needs to be for the DocFileSuite as the information is coming from there rather than unittest itself.
