    Hi,

     

    I'm not python-scripter, but looking at your testmain method

     

    def testmain():
  Unit5.Test1()
  Unit5.Test2(Unit5.Test1)

    I guess Unit5.Test1 is going to run two times. Instead of doing above , what happens when you do like below

     

    def testmain():
  Unit5.Test2(Unit5.Test1)

    Or

     

    def testmain():
  panel =  Unit5.Test1()
  Unit5.Test2(panel)

If method is a function, it should be invoked as a function()

 

def Test2(method):
    panel2=method()

    When it comes to design

    you need to ask yourself

    Should I use an object oriented approach

    Are there common functions - your base class

    Then is each test doing some variance of that?

    That can be part of an inherited class.

    Also one rule of thumb avoid duplicate code whenever possible if you are trying to do similar things.
