> I thought unittest was just handed a bunch of TestCase instances and couldn't do much about insuring they were garbage collected. True. But unittest could ensure that it doesn't keep a reference to each TestCase instance after it finishes running it. Then, if no one else has a reference either, it can be garbage collected.
