In general that's not such a good idea. If you build your tests like that, it gets hard to know which test really went wrong, and you might get the situation where the whole set of tests works, but depend on each other in some way. (This can also happen for more obscure reasons, and is worth looking out for whichever way you do it.) So, rebuilding the environment for the each before every single test is generally worth the overhead. -- Björn Lindström <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Student of computational linguistics, Uppsala University, Sweden -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
