[py-dev] Setup and teardown functions

[Simon Callan]

Hi,

I'm trying to understand how to implement setup() and teardown() functions,
but finding it a bit difficult.

What I want is the following:
1) A setup() teardown() executed when the test process starts and stops.
2) A setup() teardown() executed when a group of tests are started
/finished.
3) A setup() / teardown() executed when a test is run.

I.e., something like this:
global_setup()
  group1_setup()
    setup()
      test_1()
    teardown()
    setup()
      test_2()
    teardown()
    setup()
      test_3()
    teardown()
  group1_teardown()
  group2_setup()
    setup()
      test_4()
    teardown()
    setup()
      test_5()
    teardown()
    setup()
      test_6()
    teardown()
  group2_teardown()
global_teardown()

Is this possible? The documentation implies that it should be possible, but
I cannot figure it out.
