Michael Foord added the comment: Ah right, my mistake. Before setUp there shouldn't be test state. (Although tests are free to do whatever they want in __init__ too and I've seen plenty of TestCase subclasses using __init__ when they should be using setUp.)
Essentially though _cleanup is a backwards compatibility feature - and suites that need _cleanup as a public api are already living without testcase dict cleanup. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11798> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
