Nick Coghlan added the comment: You can use subtests to build parameterized tests, you can't use parameterized tests to build subtests. The standard library can also be converted to using subtests *far* more readily than it could be converted to parameterized tests. There's also the fact that creating a decent parameterized tests without subtests support requires PEP 422.
If you're telling us we can only have one, then I choose subtests, and third party test frameworks can layer parameterized tests on top. However, I think you're making a mistaking by seeing them as *competing* APIs, rather than seeing subtests as a superior implementation strategy for the possible later introduction of a higher level parameterized tests API. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
