I just committed a change to backend_driver.py that allows running a subset of all tests by directory. In the process I changed the command line parsing to use OptionParser, but I tried to keep it reasonably backward compatible. Here are the options the script now takes:
Options: -h, --help show this help message and exit -d DIRS, --dirs=DIRS, --directories=DIRS Run only the tests in these directories; comma- separated list of one or more of: pylab (or pylab_examples), api, units, mplot3d -b BACKENDS, --backends=BACKENDS Run tests only for these backends; comma-separated list of one or more of: agg, ps, svg, pdf, template, cairo, cairo.png, cairo.ps, cairo.pdf, cairo.svg. Default is everything except cairo. --clean Remove result directories, run no tests -c, --coverage Run in coverage.py -v, --valgrind Run in valgrind In addition to the list of backends given via the -b and --backends options, any extra arguments are added to the list of backends, or interpreted as switches to pass to the subprocess that runs each test. -- Jouni K.
