setup(…) Replaces setUp(…) . . teardown(…) Replaces tearDown(…) Am I the only one who finds this sort of excessive pep-8 underscoring to be horrorific? Nobody I know spells setup and teardown as two words. I dread using the module with these new names. Underscores are not fun to type. They create a weirdmentalpause when reading them.
