I actually created a bug entry for this
(http://bugs.python.org/issue11798) and just later it occurred that I
should've asked in the list first :)
So, here's the text for opinions:
Right now, when doing a test case, one must clear all the variables
created in the test class, and I believe this shouldn't be needed...
E.g.:
class Test(TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.obj1 = MyObject()
...
def tearDown(self):
del self.obj1
Ideally (in my view), right after running the test, it should be
garbage-collected and the explicit tearDown just for deleting the
object wouldn't be needed (as the test would be garbage-collected,
that reference would automatically die), because this is currently
very error prone... (and probably a source of leaks for any
sufficiently big test suite).
If that's accepted, I can provide a patch.
Thanks,
Fabio
