The "skip" I am speaking about is a decorator for tests or test classes telling a "runner" to skip tests (likely because conditions for their success are not met - usually, that required packages are not installed). This "skip" (decorator) uses `__unittest_skip__` to tell the the "unittest runner" (that is `unittest.TestCase.run`) that the test should be skipped. The "unittest runner" is extremely rudimentary and lacks many important features. That is why I use the much more feature rich `zope.testrunner`. I could implement the `__unittest_skip__` logic there - but as you wrote - this should remain encapsulated inside `unittest` (that's why I wrote this issue). I attach a test script - which likely is not convincing as the feature is mainly important for a sophisticated test runner, not for explicit calls of `TestCase.debug`. ---------- Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file48287/utest.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36674> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
