What is a test pattern?

Anyways, the time you've spent here so far could have been more 
profitably spent reading the Tutorial[1], any one of the fine 
introductory documentation freely available on the Web or purchasable at 
a decent bookstore[2], and most importantly "How to Ask Questions the 
Smart Way"[3].

[1] http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html
[2] http://www.python.org/doc/Intros.html
[3] http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Please do yourself and us a favor: take a break from the newsgroup for a 
while, and spend some quality time with the documentation.
