Art of Unit Testing

[Christoph Zwerschke]

Thanks for the link, Grig. I wasn't aware of the py lib so far. The 
possibility to create fixtures at the three different scopes is exactly 
what I was looking for.

Anyway, I think it would be nice to have that feature in the standard 
lib unittest as well. It should not be too hard to add setUpOnce and 
tearDownOnce methods in addition to setUp and tearDown. Actually, I am 
wondering that there doesn't seem to be any development progress since 
unittest was included in the standard lib of Python 2.1 in August 2001. 
I had expected that such an important module would be continually 
improved and maintained. How come? So few people using unit tests? Or do 
most people write their own testing code or use py.test?
