Description
Can I change the test runner output format to
main.tests.tests.TimeSlotTestCase.test_creation ... ERROR
instead of
test_creation (main.tests.tests.TimeSlotTestCase) ... ERROR
so that I can easily just copy&paste that line and run the test again without having to remove the brackets () and having to copy the name of the test behind the class and add a .?

I think you could achieve this by hacking the https://docs.python.org/2/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestResult
Here an example of testrunner adding color: https://github.com/stevematney/redgreenunittests
My guess would be to use the same hack around TestResult to change the output format.

Following duplicate ticket #27255, a django-developers thread proposes to reopen this issue.

Django uses the built-in
unittestlibrary of Python, and the test output is entirely handled byunittest. So there is nothing in Django which could be changed to modify this output. The feature request seems reasonable to me, but it would need to be pursued as a change in the Python standard library.
