I made a Bash script:
    python3 --version
    python3 -m test -ugui test_tk test_ttk_guionly test_idle

This gives:
    Python 3.4.1
    [1/3] test_tk
    [2/3] test_ttk_guionly
    [3/3] test_idle
    All 3 tests OK.

This was on openSUSE 13.2.

I also tried to run it on Debian, but there I get:
    No moduke named test.__main__; 'test' is a package and cannot be
    directly executed
