I'm not sure how the "lots of repetition" is a problem. The following:

class CCoverage(Coverage):
    decimal = C
class PyCoverage(Coverage):
    decimal = P

is quite trivial compared to the actual base test case (the Coverage class). Not only it is quite trivial to *write*, but it is also very easy to *read*, and quite explicit.

Python is not Lisp, and we do not like meta-programming that much, when it tends to obscure the code in the name of not repeating yourself.
