Hi Steve, The Purpose is: there is one module unittest2 which can do testing for our test scripts and generate report. Some of its unittest2 internal function churns out different test cases from module as per given parameter (i am using discover function).
Now there are some test case which need to be skipped according to some prerequisite. So according to the prerequisite we need to replace existing test case class and its function with new one (with same class name and function name but different steps inside the function, which will help in skipping the test case (by using unittest2.SkipTest()) So i do know who to create a class and its function dynamically at runtime??? What I am looking is, I have class name and function names during runtime and i can create the class using these variables.
