I hear that Ruby is strong with domain-specific testing but haven't checked on things myself yet. As far as giving you some ideas on how the py.test plugin side might look like i hope that Ronny Pfannschmidt or Ali Afshar can provide a pointer to their code for driving tests from yaml definitions as a starting point. cheers, holger _______________________________________________ py-dev mailing list py-dev@codespeak.net http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/py-dev
