Hi All,

I have a crazy idea of getting unittest.mock up to 100% code coverage. I noticed at the bottom of all of the test files in testmock/, there's a: if name == 'main': unittest.main() ...block. How would people feel about these going away? I don't think they're needed now that we have unittest discover, but thought I'd ask.

If you are only asking to remove them because you want that score of 100% coverage, then I think you shouldn't.

Regards

Antoine.
