I want to add wildcards to test labels. For example, if I have tests at
`speedy.core.accounts.tests.test_views`, and also
`speedy.net.accounts.tests.test_views` and
`speedy.match.accounts.tests.test_views`, I want to specify all of them
with a wildcard - something like `speedy.*.accounts.tests.test_views`. Or
even `*.test_views` which will include all the `test_views` files in my
project. And also `*.test_v*` which will be all the files that start with
`test_v`. This should be similar to wildcards in bash and in operating
systems. Is it possible to add such a feature?

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion though 2 things:
- feature requests must be submitted to the Django Forum first; and
- check out pytest (with pytest-django plugin) because it has the ability
to specify file paths & run specifc tests by keyword. Perhaps this suits
your needs?

Comment (by Baptiste Mispelon):

I'll also note that it's already possible to pass wildcards to the `-k`
option: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/ref/django-admin/#cmdoption-
test-k (see also Python's official doc
https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.html#cmdoption-unittest-k)

Thank you, I was not aware of the `-k` option!
