way to do it from a "shipping the tested product" perspective.
I don't agree with that statement.
This is not analogous to running a C compiler, it's analogous to
running a pre-processor maybe, but the fact that the distribution
doesn't run the tests on the exact code delivered in the package
gives
me agita.
You can't run tests on an sdist: at a minimus, you have to build it
and
run the tests with the build directory on your path. Tests run
inside a
"develop" egg (a VCS checkout) are always potentially influenced by
the
environment they are run in, which is why we need buildbots (or the
equivalent) for each supported platform.
Buildbots seem to be in short supply though they should be easy
enough to come by in this day and age of penny-an-hour cloud computing.
I think I'll see if maybe I can just whip up something about this...
