In other news, class and module fixtures (setUpClass / tearDownClass / setUpModule / tearDownModule) are now implemented in unittest (in trunk - not yet merged to py3k). These features are tested but I'm sure there are some lurking bugs or oddities, so please try them out. I have not yet added documentation for them; I'll pull it out from this email as a starting point. I'd rather this thread didn't become another debate on the merit of these features, but perhaps that is too much to hope for.

Just for the record, could you sum up the reasons why you/we decided on this route rather than e.g. adding a test-resources-like facility?

(I'm not saying I disagree, it's just that I didn't remember a decision had already been made on this point)

Thanks for all your work on this!

cheers

Antoine.
