Fair enough, as a quote, but it's still an inaccurate statement as I hoped I've made clear in the last several posts. The need to do "global" fixtures is most definitely not inherent in acceptance-type testing, so it's incorrect to say "unittest" is limited to unit testing. >> What, and break all the code that currently does "import unittest"? > > Just insert the two words "punit as" between "import" and "unittest", > and the code will run as before... No thanks. I have hundreds upon hundreds of test files and no desire to change them. Luckily there's roughly a zero chance of this actually happening, so no problem. :-) -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
