Python's unittest setUp function internal working

import unittest

class TestString(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):
        self.subject_list = ["Maths","Physics","Chemistry"]

    def test_student_1(self):
        self.assertListEqual(self.subject_list,["Maths","Physics","Chemistry"])
        self.subject_list.remove("Maths")

    def test_student_2(self):
        self.assertListEqual(self.subject_list,["Physics","Chemistry"])

if __name__ == "__main__":
    unittest.main()

Output : one failure and one success.

Does the setUp() loads a copy of every variable defined in it for every test case ?? If yes, How can I use setUp() to access variables globally??

setUp run each test method. if you want to run only once, use setUpClass

My English isn't good. so this link helps you

import unittest


class TestString(unittest.TestCase):
    subject_list = ["Maths", "Physics", "Chemistry"]

    def test_student_1(self):
        self.assertListEqual(self.subject_list, ["Maths", "Physics", "Chemistry"])
        self.subject_list.remove("Maths")

    def test_student_2(self):
        self.assertListEqual(self.subject_list, ["Physics", "Chemistry"])


if __name__ == "__main__":
    unittest.main()
