Michael Foord <mich...@voidspace.org.uk> added the comment: Because you then have classes that inherit from object calling methods that clearly don't exist (until you subclass them *and* TestCase). It looks weird and also means the classes can't be tested in isolation.
With a class decorator the code would *look* straightforward, and the hidden attribute is just an implementation detail. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14408> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
