Ah, ok. But how would I add the additional parameters? Can I do

class MyTest(setuptools.Command.Test):
    user_options.append(('--log-level', logging.INFO,
                      "Log level for test cases"))

without defining user_options first? But I suppose a definiton would
completely override the parent-class definition...

Because that way I wouldn't be able to specify the log level on the
command line.

Best,
