I have found the ‘testscenarios’ library very useful for this: bind a
sequence of (name, dict) tuples to the test case class, and each tuple
represents a scenario of data fixtures that will be applied to every
test case function in the class.

You (the OP) will also find the ‘testing-in-python’ discussion forum
<URL:http://lists.idyll.org/listinfo/testing-in-python> useful for this
topic.
