My editor is set up to strip spaces at the end of lines when I save a file.

Great! I've changed the branch following this suggestion, and deleted a test.

Now the detail name is an instance attribute: if you don't like this, I can just
format the string in setUp and find another way (e.g. .values()[0]) to get the
content in the test.

Yes, I was using a closure in the previous revision too. It's cool and, AFAICT, bazaar. launchpad. net/~testtools- committers/ testtools/ trunk/view/ head:/testtools /testcase. py#L585
lazy evaluation is the only option here, since details are gathered early in useFixture:
