I see this could be little more error-prone. And maybe little more variable. I know we can add a variable for every test making use of some sharemod persistence, but that would mean there will be big mess very early. I would probably just do something like this for example: data = {} And then in the test when you want to use shared variable, you can do: Setting: sharedmod.data['my_test_variable'] = 'test_value' Checking: if sharedmod.data.has_key('my_test_valiable'): # The value is set Getting: sharemod.data.get('my_test_variable', 'test_variable_default_value') But if the current suits you better, I think you can go with it as well.
