Antoine Pitrou added the comment: I don't mind refactoring test support routines in maintenance release. I said it was too late for 3.3 because the beta period is closing; but it could be fine for 3.3.1 ;)
As for the way forward, I see three possibilites: 1) put everying in test.support, as a single module (that includes folding script_helper into it) 2) make test.support a package of thematic modules 3) refactor test.support into a variety of independent modules (script_helper, import_helper, socket_helper, etc.); a small test.support providing fundamental features such as TESTFN could remain My personal preference would be for 1) or 3). But whatever we choose, we should do it consistently. Having a large test.support + a supportlib package + some independent helpers is not a good idea. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15403> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
