i'd like to think more about generative tests and particularly their implementation but it's likely out of 1.0 scope. But Feel free to post considerations/ideas about generative tests and how to syntactically express them! > Also I second the request for easy deployment of py.test, as I never use > the other components of py.* there could even be a distribution with > these removed. py.test itself internally uses many of the py lib's components (and actually often triggered their development). Regarding your usage - in case you have a publically accessible code base please point me to it. best, holger > Tom Harris BeacyBooks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > holger krekel wrote: > > >Hey everybody, > > > >as some of you already know i'd like to get a py lib/py.test 1.0 out > >in February.
