Hi, This summer, I am going to be revamping Python's test suite. Major things I plan to do include - rewriting regrtest.py to be a simple test driver - implementing CPython only decorators - moving skipping data to the tests themselves (perhaps with decorators) - completing the transition to unittest/docttest - removing old test_support crud (like verify) - increasing the testing of unicode inputs and fixing bugs the appear - write new testing docs for newbie contributors - merging related tests - reorganizing the tests into separate directories
Other suggestions? I also wanted to ask about the API compatibility requirements for test.test_support. IMO, we shouldn't include the testing tools as part of the stdlib. However, test_support is documented. Does anyone know any projects using test_support? -- Thanks, Benjamin Peterson "There's no place like 127.0.0.1." _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
