Not sure if this is intended behavior. I have a baseClass I'm writing tests for. My test architecture has an instance of this baseClass assigned as a member of TestBaseClass(unittest.TestCase) in TestBaseClass.setUp. The problem occurs when tests in TestBaseClass modify state within the member baseClass instance. I think there should be a fresh new instance of baseClass for every test that gets run, but the old state from the last test is still there. Example code and output from Python 2.6.2 attached.
