Michael Foord <mich...@voidspace.org.uk> added the comment: So it turns out that unittest.makeSuite is used about 100 times throughout the standard library tests.
More than half the time it can be replaced with unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromTestCase(...) Some of the other times a loader needs to be constructed and then a testMethodPrefix of 'Check' set (yuck!). I'm about halfway through a patch that does this. Think it is worth continuing or shall I drop it. I don't mind doing it so long as *someone* thinks it is worthwhile... :-) (I haven't yet checked for getTestCaseNames but I imagine there will be a bunch of these to fix as well.) Another possibility is to move the functions into test_support (deprecating first) where at least they are out of unittest. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5846> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
