This too has come up several times, both here and in the testing-in-python list (and python-dev and Pycon BoFs and hallway discussions. ;). There doesn't seem to be much consensus, or much enthusiasm for blessing one way of running a package's test, although I personally think `python setup.py test` is the best we can do right now. I've also had discussions with Nick Coghlan and others who are working on the next generation of packaging tools and PEPs. I *really* wanted the packaging metadata to have hooks to specify how a package's tests are run. Those guys seem amenable to the idea, but sadly have deferred that until after this round of PEPs/tools is deployed. That doesn't help us now though. -Barry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
