Hi Peter,
Yeah, you're right, the term "ConnectString" is a little confusing. Perhaps I should change that.
Here's a valid call to DB:
conn=DB.DB('pg','test','localhost',5432,'test','test')
In the context of this unittest, a valid syntax would be (except that this unittest would fail, as this is a "good" connection:
self.assertRaises(DB.InvalidConnectString, DB.DB,'pg','test','localhost',5432,'test','test')
You can try something like this (not tested):
>>> InvalidStrings=(['pg','test','localhost','5432','test','test'],
['pg','test','local',5432,'test','test'])
>>> for S in InvalidStrings:
... self.assertRaises(DB.InvalidConnectString, DB.DB, *S)
... Here the * operator unpacks a sequence when passed in to a function that is expecting positional arguments. See the Python Tutorial, 4.7.4 Unpacking Argument Lists for a better explanation.
