Apparently you didn't really understand me. I'm of the opinion that
making TestCase instances pickleable is useless if that pickling
doesn't have well-defined semantics. And I wonder what the semantics of
pickling a TestCase could be, and what the use cases are.
Regards
Antoine.
Splitting groups of tests to run in parallel via multiple processes is
a pretty good use case.
That's something I've been thinking about a lot (and talking to Holger
about) for the unittest plugins. I definitely won't be doing it with
pickles but as Antoine says, sending test names to the subprocesses. You
really want tests run in a child process to behave differently and it
makes sense to set them up inside the child process.
All the best,
Michael Foord
