An alternative is in TestCase.run() / TestCase.__call__(), make a copy and immediately delegate to it; that leaves the original untouched, permitting run-in-a-loop style helpers to still work. Testtools did something to address this problem, but I forget what it was offhand. -Rob _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
