+Subject: [PATCH] Clean up test runner
+
+Test code doesn't need to manually construct a TestSuite and a
+TextTestRunner, the unittest module has a discovery function that does
+all this for you.
+
+Delete all of the manual logic from tests.py, replace it with the two
+lines to bring in the doctest unit tests, and update the makefile to
+run the unittest discovery.
+
+Upstream-Status: Submitted [https://github.com/stefankoegl/python-json-pointer/pull/54]
+Signed-off-by: Ross Burton <ross.burton@arm.com>
