The Python tests are written using Python's built in unittest module, and can either be run by executing the scripts or with nose. To run a test script directly, simply execute the test .py file:
D:\Develop\dynd-python>python dynd\tests\test_dtype.py

Help on function test in module dynd:
test(verbosity=1, xunitfile=None, exit=False)
Runs the full DyND test suite, outputing
the results of the tests to sys.stdout.
Parameters
----------
verbosity : int, optional
Value 0 prints very little, 1 prints a little bit,
and 2 prints the test names while testing.
xunitfile : string, optional
If provided, writes the test results to an xunit
style xml file. This is useful for running the tests
in a CI server such as Jenkins.
exit : bool, optional
If True, the function will call sys.exit with an
error code after the tests are finished.
