[issue24055] unittest package-level set up tear down module

[Robert Collins]

Robert Collins added the comment:

Personally I'm very skeptical of all the multi-test setup facilties because of 
the very poor interactions with parallel testing that this basic approach has. 
But - we haven't yet brought in something sensible to let us deprecate 
setUpModule and setUpClass, so I could not reject it on that basis.

I'd have to see a patch or a prototype to comment on the maintainability etc.

[issue24055] unittest package-level set up tear down module

[Demian Brecht]

New submission from Demian Brecht:

There's a feature available via nose that might be nice to have in unittest: 
package-level setup and teardown functions.

Using nose, I can define a setUpModule() method in a test package's __init__.py 
and it will execute it during the test run. This is helpful for test packages 
that test related features and may have expensive setup/teardown routines. By 
having the test runner pick up setup/teardown methods in __init__.py, I can now 
incur this expense once rather than once per module.

I don't mind putting a patch together for this if others think this might be 
beneficial.
