[Python-Dev] unittest.TestResult lacks API to separate subtests (original) (raw)

Hello,

We're developing Python IDE and integrated it with unittest module using TestResult <https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestResult> inheritor to track test start, end etc. With Py3K, it supports addSubTest method, that is called after all subtests. But there is no method called before and after each subtest (like it is done for regular tests). With out of it I can't fetch each subtest output and display it correctly.

I suggest to add subTestStart / subTestEnd methods to help me with my issue and other people with similar issues. I can send patch if you think this is a good idea.
