How about decorating the tests with something which tracks the status? Something like (completely untested): def track_failure(f): def test(self): try: f(self) self.testResult = 'pass' except AssertionError: self.testResult = 'fail' raise except: self.testResult = 'error' raise return test and then either decorate the tests directly when you define then, or perhaps easier just iterate over all the methods in the test class and decorate anything beginning 'test_'. Alternatively try subclassing (or monkey patching) TestResult: the TestResult has methods addSuccess, addFailure and addError which are called at a suitable point, with the test as an argument. You could set a flag in the test at that point and check it during the cleanup. If you subclass TextTestRunner and override _makeResult you can substitute in your own TestResult class at that point. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
