some shortcuts I use with manage.py

manage.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
import sys
import logging

# disable logging during tests
if 'test' in sys.argv:
    logging.disable(logging.CRITICAL)

# add support for --time option to measure the time needed to execute each Test Class
if 'test' in sys.argv and '--time' in sys.argv:
    sys.argv.remove('--time')
    import time
    from unittest import TestCase

    @classmethod
    def setUpClass(cls):
        print("\n\033[95m%s.%s started\033[0m" % (cls.__module__, cls.__name__))
        cls.class_start_time = time.time()

    @classmethod
    def tearDownClass(cls):
        print("\n\033[94m%s.%s finished in %.3f seconds\033[0m" % (cls.__module__, cls.__name__, time.time() - cls.class_start_time))

    TestCase.setUpClass = setUpClass
    TestCase.tearDownClass = tearDownClass
