Some systems have an oom (Out Of Memory) process killer, which nukes (semi-random) process when the system exhausts memory. Is it possible this is happening? If so, you should see some log message in one of your system logs. You didn't mention (or maybe I misssed it) which OS you're using. I'm assuming you've got some kind of system call tracer (strace, truss, dtrace, etc). Try running your tests under that. If something is sending your process a kill signal, you'll see it: [gazillions of lines elided] write(1, ">>> ", 4>>> ) = 4 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0 select(1, [0], NULL, NULL, NULL) = ? ERESTARTNOHAND (To be restarted) --- SIGTERM (Terminated) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGTERM +++ Alternatively, maybe something inside your process is just calling sys.exit(), or even os._exit(). You'll see the exit() system call in the strace output. And, of course, the standard suggestion to reduce this down to the minimum test case. You posted: def test_xxx_1(self): p = self.pp.lockbox_payments[0] # affirm we have what we're expecting self.assertEqual( (p.payer, p.ck_num, p.credit), ('a customer', '010101', 10000), ) self.assertEqual(p.invoices.keys(), ['XXXXXXXXXXX']) self.assertEqual(p.invoices.values()[0].amount, 10000) # now make sure we get back what we're expecting np, b = self.pp._match_invoices(p) missing = [] for inv_num in ('123456', '789012', '345678'): if inv_num not in b: missing.append(inv_num) if missing: raise ValueError('invoices %r missing from batch' % missing) what happens if you reduce that to: def test_xxx_1(self): self.fail() do you still get this strange behavior? What if you get rid of your setUpClass()? Keep hacking away at the test suite until you get down to a single line of code which, if run, exhibits the behavior, and if commented out, does not. At that point, you'll have a clue what's causing this. If you're lucky :-) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
