Things likely to be used by writers of unit tests.
Class FailTest Raised to indicate the current test has failed to pass.

Class TestCase A unit test. The atom of the unit testing universe.

def makeTodo(value): (source)
Return a Todo object built from value.

If value is a string, return a Todo that expects any exception with value as a reason. If value is a tuple, the second element is used as the reason and the first element as the excepted error(s).

ParametersvalueA string or a tuple of (errors, reason), where errors is either a single exception class or an iterable of exception classes.
ReturnsA Todo object.
def decorate(test, decorator): (source)
Decorate all test cases in test with decorator.

test can be a test case or a test suite. If it is a test suite, then the structure of the suite is preserved.

decorate tries to preserve the class of the test suites it finds, but assumes the presence of the _tests attribute on the suite.

ParameterstestThe TestCase or TestSuite to decorate.
decoratorA unary callable used to decorate TestCases.
ReturnsA decorated TestCase or a TestSuite containing decorated TestCases.
