Motivation for this change
While porting some tests to use the new python test-driver, some of the subtests failed. Finding the exception and the respective subtest was annoyjing for me, since there is a lot of other output printed to the terminal. At a NixOS meetup @0x4A6F approached me and asked me if I could make some changes in the test-driver, such that the failed tests are shown in a clear way.
This was the output before the changes:
This is the new output:
I'm sure that there are a few more improvements that can be done to make the output uncluttered. Feel free to comment your ideas.
