That's not true across the board. For instance, the python.org Mac OS X installers do install the tests "permanently" and, with the addition of the "-m test" (or "-m test.regrtest" in 2.7) command line options, the tests can be easily run at any time on the end user's system. That's one of the reasons why it is important that additions and changes to the tests need to ensure that auxiliary directories and files are installed by the Makefile install targets and not just resident in the build directory. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org _______________________________________________ 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
