many test frameworks support "expected failures" for this purpose. how hard would it be to add a
unittest.FailingTestCase class that runs a TestCase, catches any errors in it, and signals an error ("test foo passed unexpectedly") if it runs cleanly ?
I don't know how hard it would be, but I would also consider this appropriate. Of course, this should work on a case-by-case basis: if there are multiple test methods in a class, unexpected passes of each method should be reported.
