Keep in mind that it isn't only us running the test suite; but, yeah, this is what we've done in the past. Just don't do the cutover near when one of the release managers is trying to produce a release :) We've been converting tests to use internal services as we've noticed them for one reason or another, and when possible. The example I quoted should be converted. There are tests that we don't have the infrastructure to move into the test harness, but I don't think any of the ones that reference www.python.org should be among those at this point. --David _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers
