In my continuing trawl through the SF patch tracker, I came across #1244929 (http://python.org/sf/1244929), which causes TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule() to skip classes whose name starts with an underscore. This addresses the warning in that method's docs: """ While using a hierarchy of TestCase-derived classes can be convenient in sharing fixtures and helper functions, defining test methods on base classes that are not intended to be instantiated directly does not play well with this method. Doing so, however, can be useful when the fixtures are different and defined in subclasses. """ "Does not play well", in this case, means that your base classes will be picked up against your will if they subclass TestCase. I like the patch and have worked up tests and doc changes for it. Any objections to including this in 2.6? Collin Winter
