The 'asterisk' is in there because our python system library path doesn't append that folder to it, and changing that would affect a lot of import statements throughout the code.

Well, we either specify the objects to create in the configuration and do it dynamically, or we hard code them in TestCase.  I had them hard coded originally, but that made adding new ones rather tough on the developer - they had to find the correct place in the base class and add all the right callbacks and hooks to have them added correctly and not break things.

I can go with that approach instead of that's what people would like.

Those settings in a mode can then be applied either at the base level in the runtests.py script, or by any test that inherits from TestClass.py.  As the global settings file makes use of the TestConfig class, all settings in the TestConfig class can theoretically be applied on a global scale - although since each test checks its dependencies independently, only the Test Conditions are currently useful.
