Just inherit your classes from something like (untested): class FunkyTestCase(unittest.TestCase): needs_initial = True def initialize(self): self.__class__.needs_initial = False def setUp(self): if self.needs_initial: self.initialize() And write your test classes like: class Bump(FunkyTestCase): def initialize(self): super(Bump, self).initialize() print 'One time Action' ... --Scott David Daniels scott.dani...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
