New submission from Pascal Chambon <chambon.pas...@gmail.com>:
Is there any reasons why assertXXX methods in TestCase are instance methods and not staticmethods/classmethods? Since they (to my knowledge) don't need to access an instance dict, they could be turned into instance-less methods, and thus be usable from other testing frameworks (like pytest, for those who want to use all the power of fixtures and yet benefit from advanced assertions, like Django's TestCase's assertXXX). Am I missing something here? ---------- components: Tests messages: 345463 nosy: pakal priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Make unittest assertions staticmethods/classmethods type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37262> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
