Hi Jesus,
Regarding where to place test files, you might want to look at how the current
bsddb test suite in Lib/bsddb/test handles the need to create temporary files
and such. A bit of work has gone into this particular aspect to improve
reliability and robustness on buildbots -- particularily when it comes to
Windows. (I believe the current test suite comes up with a unique directory
based on process ID..)
Trent.

Subject: [Python-Dev] Committing bsddb 4.6.4, and where can I put testsuite
temp files?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I just committed pybsddb 4.6.4 to python svn. My next step (after a
successfull buildbot cycle, I hope!) is to commit the new testsuite.
First I need to review any changes there since I maintain pybsddb.
The testsuite creates a lot of files/directories while working. Fine,
since it cleans later, unless some test crashes hard. My testcode
defines a variable to the path I want to use to keep those files/dirs.
Currently it is "/tmp/z-BerkeleyDB", or something like that.
Since my code allows for testcases to be run in multiple threads and/or
processes, where would be a sensible path choice for temporal files?.
Current working directory would be fine, if "somebody" is cleaning after
running all tests.
Ramdisk ("/tmp" in some systems, for example Solaris) would be nice,
since some test uses transactions, and transactions are write-synchronous.
In my system, runnning all tests serially (you can run all of them in
parallel, if you wish) takes about 15-20 seconds. Far faster than
current tests in python svn, and that can be improved even more.
