Unfortunately I need to be able to run tests a single sub-application 
at a time, and, better, a single test class or test method from a 
single sub-application like my example.

The only thing missing is the sub-application prefix; it's so very 
close to working.  :)

I'll poke around and see what I can come up with.  I suspect it's 
trimming the package namespace a bit too much.  Project-wise I'm in the 
process of migrating from Django's default internal test runner (a 
bundled version of unittest2) to DjangoNose for a codebase approaching 
140KSLoC.  (We have a lot of tests.  ;)

Django 1.4.1.

Thanks for the quick reply!
