The ‘testscenarios’ library is designed for just this reason <URL:http://pypi.python.org/pypi/testscenarios/>. It takes a sequence of scenarios, each of which is a tuple just like in your example, and causes a separate test run and report for each one. -- \ “If we listen only to those who are like us, we will squander | `\ the great opportunity before us: To live together peacefully in | _o__) a world of unresolved differences.” —David Weinberger | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
