Yes, but this is not as robust as it could be. It's better to also unlink/rmtree in the setUp. That way if the file doesn't get cleaned up (interpreter crash, KeyboardInterrupt, file not closed on Windows, exception in tearDown, etc), the test won't fail on the next run or the next test that assumes TESTFN doesn't exist won't fail. n _______________________________________________ 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
