In some cases for Python unit tests, we want to automatically perform setUp methods in as declared in a base class. However, we still want setUp to work as per normal in the subclass. The following code will proxy the new setUp function to run it's base class' and the new one.

# Define a common test base for starting servers
class MyBaseTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    @classmethod
    def setUpClass(cls):
        """On inherited classes, run our `setUp` method"""
        # Inspired via http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1323455/python-unit-test-with-base-and-sub-class/17696807#17696807
        if cls is not MyBaseTestCase and cls.setUp is not MyBaseTestCase.setUp:

Setting up a Ubuntu 14.04 or Debian 8 (jessie) arm64 VM

This is mainly a notes dump and should be used for reference. This guide assumes:

Ubuntu 14.04 (or Debian 8) hypervisor/host with bridge networking
Knowledge of qemu
Knowledge of debootstrap

Limitations of the qemu-system-aarch64 emulator on x86 include only being able to emulate one CPU and no KVM support.

On a recent project, I ran into an issue with Python Selenium webdriver. There's no easy way to open a new tab, grab whatever you need and return to original window opener.

Here's a couple people who ran into the same complication:

So, after many minutes (read about an hour) of searching, I decided to do find a quick solution to this problem.

	def read_csv_file(self, filename):
	file = open(filename, 'r')
	csvfile = csv.reader(file)
	file.close
