Is there a way for a test case method in a class derived

-v or -vv.
Looking at the source, it doesn't appear that information is exposed to
the TestCases. If you base your tests on this subclass of the standard
TestCase, however, you can use the regenerated "self._verbosity"
attribute to do what you want:
class TestCase(unittest.TestCase):
def run(self, result=None):
if result.showAll:
self._verbosity = 2
elif result.dots:
self._verbosity = 1
else:
self._verbosity = 0
unittest.TestCase.run(self, result=result)
