Hello all,

Several authors of other Python testing frameworks spoke up against them, but several users of test frameworks spoke up in favour of them. ;-)

+1 for having something like that included in unittest I'm pretty sure I can introduce setUpClass and setUpModule without breaking compatibility with existing unittest extensions or backwards compatibility issues Is it possible to use the names BeforeClass and AfterClass (just to be make it look similar to JUnit naming conventions ;o) ? Another Q:  - class setup method will be a classmethod isn't it ? It should not be a regular instance method because IMO it is not bound to a particular TestCase instance.

Olemis.
