reading argv argument of unittest.main()

[winston.yang]

I've read that unittest.main() can take an optional argv argument, and
that if it is None, it will be assigned sys.argv.

Is there a way to pass command line arguments through unittest.main()
to the setUp method of a class derived from unittest.TestCase?

Thank you in advance.

Can't you use sys.argv[] directly inside setUp()?
