I have taken the liberty of posting this to testing-in-python. Many testing frameworks already exist, and some of them -- Geoff Bache's TextTest comes to mind -- may work to do what you want with minimal tweaking. But you will need to describe what it is that you want to do. Mostly we test python code here, but some of us have things that deal with more arbitrary input. And there is also Crunchy Frog which might be adaptable. Around here (TIP) we like use cases lots more than we like discussion of the internal vision for the project, which means in describing what you want, if you can say things like 'I want the teacher to provide X, and when the student provides Q, the result Z is generated' we will have an easier time of seeing if the frameworks we know and maintain can be of use to you. There are dozens represented here, all quite friendly -- so you will not be able to narrow down your choice by asking 'which is the best'. The answer is always 'for whom? to do what?'. But I think customising something here will be a lot easier than writing your own from scratch, especially if you have never done this before. And even if our solutiuons are overkill for your problems -- well, you will at least get to meet a nice group of people, many of whom have also felt the itch to write their own frameworks, and who can talk about some of the problems that await you. best, Laura _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list Edu-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
