Can anyone tell me why this should happen. Is there some sort of limit on the number of test cases that can be run in a batch? I don't think there is a limit like this. I wonder, do you have any name collisions? For example if testsymc39 and testsym25 both contain class TestSym then only the second one will run because it will shadow the name from the first module. If this is the case you need a more sophisticated way of accumulating tests. You might want to look into using nose or one of the other test-discovery frameworks listed here: http://pycheesecake.org/wiki/PythonTestingToolsTaxonomy#UnitTestingTools Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
