Is there any way to initialize a TestCase subclass *once* and set up all the 
necessary stuff I need for all test cases in that subclass ?  


Let's say I want to test some socket stuff and connect only ONCE (and reuse 
that 
socket over and over, leaving it open), how should I proceed?  I don't want to 
open and close the socket with #setUp and #tearDown each and every time so a 
one-time initialization for the class (and a proper cleanup ) everytime I run 
the test suite is what I am looking for.  Suggestions?  Is there any Sunit 
version/fork/extension that would allow me to do that?

Did I miss something obvious and I have exactly what I need in front on me in 
my 
class browser right now or we can't do this with what's there now?

If it's not there, does anyone think it would be worth we add such a feature ?  
I volunteer to get it done!

tia!
