[Python-Dev] [Python-checkins] cpython: Make parameterized tests in email less hackish.

I'm not clear on why this is a metaclass rather than a simple class decorator.

Your description doesn't match your examples or implementation.
Assuming the example and implementation are correct (and they look
more sensible than the currently described approach), I believe that
last sentence should be:

"The  full name of a generated test is a 'test_' prefix, the portion
of the test function name after the  '_as_' separator, plus an '_',
plus the name derived as explained above."

Cheers,
Nick.
