I used to ask the same question, but then I decided that if I wanted each data point to get its own tick, I should bite the bullet and write an individual test for each. If you really care, you could subclass unittest.TestCase, and then cause each assert* method to count how often it gets called. But really, how much detailed info about *passed* tests do you need? If you are writing loops inside tests, you might find this anecdote useful: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2011-April/1270640.html -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
