OK I carried the code I offered earlier in this whole thread (tweaked in reaction to some comments) over to comp.lang.python, gathered some feedback, and put up a recipe on the cookbook. After a week or so for more comment, I'll be happy to submit a patch to include the broken_test decorator function in unittest.
Here is where the recipe is, for those who want to comment further: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/466288 --Scott David Daniels [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
