I think they don't cater to the same crowd. I see parameterized tests as primarily used by people who like adding formal complexity to their tests in the name of architectural elegance (decorators, non-intuitive constructs and other additional boilerplate). Subtests are meant to not get in the way. IMHO, this makes them more suitable for stdlib inclusion, while the testing-in-python people can still rely on their additional frameworks. Also, subtests would be immediately and trivially usable in our own test suite. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16997> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
