Some issues were worked around, but I don't remember any comprehensive solution. > The proposed "fix" is to make test suite runs destructive, either > replacing TestCase instances with None or pop'ing tests after they are > run (the latter being what twisted Trial does). run-in-a-loop helpers > could still repeatedly iterate over suites, just not call the suite. Just pop-ing is unlikely to be sufficient in practice. The Bazaar test suite (which uses testtools nowadays) has code that pops during the run, but still keeps every case alive for the duration. That trebles the runtime on my memory-constrained box unless I add a hack that clears the __dict__ of every testcase after it's run.
