Manuel Support for Setup and Teardown

Registered by Stephan Richter

Some manuels require complex setup in order to fulfill evaluation. For example, I have built manuels that connect via SSH to remote machines and simualte a shell and others connect to proprietary CLIs. I need to be able to setup connections and tearthem down after I am done. Currently I am using a hack int eh evaluator to detect the first and last chunk to setup and teardown connections. It would be nice if I could simply have hooks that allow me to do that at the beinning and end of a test suite.

Whiteboard

zope.testrunner layers (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zope.testrunner#layers) should provide this functionality. I've implemented support for them in http://zope3.pov.lt/trac/changeset/115678/manuel/branches/elro-test-count
