Michael Foord added the comment: As David says, the current workaround is to provide a mixin (base) class that inherits from object. Because this doesn't inherit from TestCase there is no confusion.
We *may* add a class marker that allows you to provide TestCase subclasses that won't be run. I don't think we'll do this with the abstract class machinery as it is additional complication for no benefit. ---------- assignee: -> michael.foord resolution: -> rejected stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed versions: -Python 2.7, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17519> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
