Yes -- "python ./setup.py test -s allmydata.test.test_cli.Backup.test_backup"

Which I also mentioned in this message:

That's an interesting idea.  Currently the buildbot just says "python
./setup.py build" (e.g. [1]) and "python ./setup.py test" (e.g. [2]).
It would be nicest if buildslaves that used virtualenv could arrange
it so that "python" executed in a virtualenv instead of the system
python.  Is that possible?
