I can't find it in the archives I'm afraid - looong thread spread across
two months archives.
When are make_tests prefixed methods called and by whom? (Are they
static method or instance methods?)
One of the problems with unittest is that a test could be run by
TestRunner.run, TestCase.run or TestSuite.run. I understand that
creating test methods at class creation time may be too early for some
use cases, but it does support all the ways that tests can be run.
