Unit test in Python, error in setup class -

i writing test suite as:

class mysuite(unnitest.testcase):  @classmethod def setupclass(cls):     try:         ***some code throw exception***     except exception e:         print('error thrown') @classmethod def teardownclass(cls):     print('in teardown') def test_demo(self):     print('in test_demo') 

the problem is, though error thrown in setup (because of 5/0), test_demo executed, not want to.

what best approach stop executing test_demo whenever there error in setup method.

you're catching error , printing message in response. don't that.

if want print something, @ least re-raise exception afterwards. better not bother catching @ all: traceback should sufficient information.

(also, first parameter classmethod called cls not self, class itself.)
