[issue17908] Unittest runner needs an option to call gc.collect() after each test

[Michael Foord]

Michael Foord added the comment:

I'm afraid I'm inclined to agree with Antoine. This seems a relatively specialised problem and I'd expect to see it solved in the test system rather than in unittest itself.

One solution, and something I'd like to see, is a way for test systems to extend the unittest command line handling so that they can add extra options. At the moment it's very painful to do.
