New submission from Fabio Zadrozny <fab...@users.sourceforge.net>:
Right now, when doing a test case, one must clear all the variables created in
the test class, and I believe this shouldn't be needed...
E.g.:
class Test(TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.obj1 = MyObject()
...
def tearDown(self):
del self.obj1
Ideally (in my view), right after running the test, it should be
garbage-collected and the explicit tearDown wouldn't be needed (as the test
would garbage-collected, that reference would automatically die), because this
is currently very error prone... (and probably a source of leaks for any
sufficiently big test suite).
If that's accepted, I can provide a patch.
