Antoine Pitrou added the comment:
I'm not sure how the "lots of repetition" is a problem. The following:
class CCoverage(Coverage):
decimal = C
class PyCoverage(Coverage):
decimal = P
is quite trivial compared to the actual base test case (the Coverage class).
Not only it is quite trivial to *write*, but it is also very easy to *read*,
and quite explicit.
Python is not Lisp, and we do not like meta-programming that much, when it
tends to obscure the code in the name of not repeating yourself.
