Hello all,

Several
authors of other Python testing frameworks spoke up *against* them, but
several *users* of test frameworks spoke up in favour of them. ;-)

+1 for having something like that included in unittest

I'm pretty sure I can introduce setUpClass and setUpModule without breaking
compatibility with existing unittest extensions or backwards compatibility
issues
Is it possible to use the names `BeforeClass` and `AfterClass` (just
to be make it look similar to JUnit naming conventions ;o) ?

Another Q:

  - class setup method will be a `classmethod` isn't it ? It should not be
     a regular instance method because IMO it is not bound to a particular
     `TestCase` instance.

   - Is it possible to rely on the fact that all class-level tear down
     methods will be guaranteed to run even if class-level setup
     method throws an exception ?

Yes it will be a classmethod rather than an instance method. I would expect that in common with instance setUp the tearDown would *not* be run if setUp fails. What would be nice would be an extension of addCleanUp so that it can be used by class and module level setUp. Clean-ups largely obsolete the need for tearDown anyway.
