Éric Araujo added the comment: FTR there is already an alternative to setupmodule:
try: import module except ImportError: module = None @unittest.skipUnless(module, 'requires module') class ModuleTests(unittest.TestCase): pass This idiom is more lines than support.import_module, but works for non-stdlib tests too, and is useful when you don’t want the whole file to be skipped if the module is missing (like in distutils’ test_sdist where zlib can be missing). ---------- nosy: +eric.araujo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16935> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
