I don't think this makes the world better. It just makes it more intertwined. Currently, I can read the test code in isolation and understand it. But with the proposed PR, a person now needs to know more of what is in test_support. I really like seeing the classes in-line so I know exactly what they are doing and exactly what a test is doing. Also, I don't like reinventing another alternative to mocks. Ideally, we want to minimize the number of things a person has to know in order to read and write our tests. I understand your desire to factor everything you see, but in so doing you're creating tighter coupling and increasing complexity for the everyday contributor. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40129> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
