All I found in documentation of unittest module is description of TextTestRunner\'s constructor and the following sample code using its run()
unittest
TextTestRunner
run()
Constructor of TextTestRunner class has failfast parameter which is not shown in the constructor's documentation.
UPDATE
I raised bug 17871 and it's fixed now what you can verify at http://docs.python.org/3.3/library/unittest.html#unittest.TextTestRunner
