alternate approach as cases inside class

[jnoortheen]

I really like this library but it seems to require lot of boilerplate code to get running.

Can we have a class based approach as well to the existing approaches?
What do you think about the following way?.

class TestDescribeTest():
  def case_one(self, fixture1, fixture2, fixture3):
     return input, output, err
  def case_two(self, fixture2, fixture3):
    return input, output, err
  def test_function(self, input, output, err):
    # test body

I know I can just put this inside generate_tests to parameterize the test, but not sure, how to pass the parameters from the case functions and make the case functions behave like fixture functions. What are your opinions?

@jnoortheen thanks for the feedback !

I agree with you - this is why I am in the process of making the experience closer to pytest. (See #90 )
This should happen within one or two weeks, so I suggest that we take this conversation again when it (and the associated new readme) is done. Until then, you can put the case functions in a dedicated module (I use the convention test_xxx_cases.py when your test file is test_xxx.py, it will even be the default in v2)

Sorry for delaying, and thanks for your patience !

@jnoortheen sorry for taking so much time but I finally release version 2.0.0 today. It should provide a good answer to your concerns. Let me know !
