Not exactly what you're asking for, but 2.7 has grown a --failfast option that tells unittest to stop on the first failure. For older Python versions you can use nose nosetests -x myscript.py at http://somethingaboutorange.com/mrl/projects/nose/0.11.2/ or the unittest backport at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/unittest2 Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
