[TIP] Merging coverage results

[Ned Batchelder]

Alex, you seem to be on the cutting edge of unusual uses of 
coverage.py!  When you say you have the data in memory, what does that 
mean exactly?

It sounds like what you need is a refactoring of 
coverage/data.py:CoverageData.combine_parallel_data to allow you to feed 
data into a combining step.
