Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Although the text is aimed at people writing tests, I agree with starting with a new short section "0. Running all Idle tests". The sentence already there is specific to automated unittests. There is also a separate human-mediated test system run with "python -m idlelib.idle_test.htest" (more below). This command should be added in this section.
Retesting, "python -m test.test_idle" on the command line no longer works for me on installed 3.4.3, Win7. Instead I get c:\Programs\Python34\python.exe: Error while finding spec for 'test.test_idle' (<class 'AttributeError'>: 'module' object has no attribute '__path__') Did you get this or is does my install have a problem? Running test_idle.py from the Idle editor works fine. ">python -m test -v test_idle" fails with no output. Onward: I do not want to indent code because I want people, including myself, to be able to cut and paste. Some of the other edits look good at first glance. I may have questions on some. Something needs to be added to README about human-mediated tests, beyond the bottom-line summary in section 0. There is a page long docstring in htest.py. I am not sure how much to move to or duplicate in README (after further editing). Any opinion, as a naive reader? ---------- assignee: -> terry.reedy nosy: +terry.reedy stage: -> patch review versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23964> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
