That sounds fine - but currently test_Wise, test_psw and test_Cluster DO have
some output, e.g.

test_Cluster
test_clusterdistance (test_Cluster.TestCluster) ... ok
test_distancematrix_kmedoids (test_Cluster.TestCluster) ... ok
test_kcluster (test_Cluster.TestCluster) ... ok
test_matrix_parse (test_Cluster.TestCluster) ... ok
test_median_mean (test_Cluster.TestCluster) ... ok
test_somcluster (test_Cluster.TestCluster) ... ok
test_treecluster (test_Cluster.TestCluster) ... ok

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 7 tests in 0.015s

OK

I can see what you have in mind here, but if we can avoid a separate "helper
script" it would nicer (and reduce end user confusion).
