| There's a feature available via nose that might be nice to have in unittest: package-level setup and teardown functions. Using nose, I can define a setUpModule() method in a test package's __init__.py and it will execute it during the test run. This is helpful for test packages that test related features and may have expensive setup/teardown routines. By having the test runner pick up setup/teardown methods in __init__.py, I can now incur this expense once rather than once per module. I don't mind putting a patch together for this if others think this might be beneficial. | ||

| Personally I'm very skeptical of all the multi-test setup facilties because of the very poor interactions with parallel testing that this basic approach has. But - we haven't yet brought in something sensible to let us deprecate setUpModule and setUpClass, so I could not reject it on that basis. I'd have to see a patch or a prototype to comment on the maintainability etc. | ||
