Yes, and in theory it can make `python setup.py test` work well. But there are lots of little details (such as API differences for ensuring that doctests run, "additional tests" discovery, etc.) that make this often not work so well in practice. Some of that is social and some of it is technical. I still claim that including test suite information in a package's metadata would be a win, but maybe that's just too much to hope for right now. -Barry _______________________________________________ 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
