I thought it was what you wanted and it made some sense because we've already had problems with schemas in different places, and testing them explicitly would be a bit tedious. Running normal tests through a schema would probably be more exhaustive. But anyway, whatever you had in mind should be good. More tests are (nearly) always good. >> hmmm... or we >> might get away with simply adding the schema to the default >> table_options... That's probably a good idea.

We are using nosetests to run the test suite, so a command-line argument is out of the question. An environment variable, a configuration file, or a common python module for all test are all fine with me. I have a slight preference for the common python module as it could be used for more setup stuff...
