Doc issues should be 'tested' and reported against the latest versions. 2.6.6 doc is effectively the last 2.6 version.

TextTextRunner is not completely undocumented.
In 3.2
>>> help(t.run)
Help on function run in module unittest.runner:

run(self, test)
    Run the given test case or test suite.

Searching on 'run(' finds near the top of the unittest chapter (2.7, 3.2):
"A test runner is an object that provides a single method, run(), which accepts a TestCase or TestSuite object as a parameter, and returns a result object."

I agree that the entry for TextTestRunner near the bottom should include one for .run, with at least the doc string, but maybe a backreference to the discussion near the top.

It is not clear to me how TextTestRunner is expected to be used. Does unittest.main instantiate one, and call run, behind the scenes?
