Is this a good way to implement testing

Still on my journey to learn Python.
At the moment I define the test functionality in the following way:
 if __name__ == '__main__':
 keywords = [
 'all',
 'factorial',
 'fibonacci',
 'happy',
 'lucky',
 ]
 keywords_msg = [
 '--all',
 '--factorial',
 '--fibonacci',
 '--happy',
 '--lucky',
 ]
 (options,
 extraParams) = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:], '', keywords)
 progname = split(sys.argv[0])[1]
 if len(options) > 1 or len(extraParams) != 0:
 error = '{0}: Wrong parameters ({1})'. \
 format(progname, ' '.join(sys.argv[1:]))
 usage = ' {0} {1}'.format(progname, ' | '.join(keywords_msg))
 print(error, file = sys.stderr)
 print(usage, file = sys.stderr)
 sys.exit(1)
 do_all = do_factorial = do_fibonacci = do_happy = do_lucky = False
 if len(options) == 0:
 do_all = True
 else:
 action = options[0][0]
 if action == '--all':
 do_all = True
 elif action == '--factorial':
 do_factorial = True
 elif action == '--fibonacci':
 do_fibonacci = True
 elif action == '--happy':
 do_happy = True
 elif action == '--lucky':
 do_lucky = True
 else:
 print >> sys.stderr, progname + ': Unhandled parameter ' + action
 sys.exit(1)
 if do_all or do_factorial:
 .
 .
 .
Is this an acceptable way of working?
