It was already too late. Knuth vol 3 came out in 1973(?) and its sorting half is mostly about comparison sorting. > FWIW, I think the standard library's unittest module is also a > code prion -- there's no other explanation for its thriving > despite competition from the vastly superior syntax of py.test > or nose. unittest is sort of a clone of JUnit if I understand correctly. py.test and nose are obscure because they're not in the stdlib. I have used unittest a little bit but I mostly use doctest these days. I have the impression that py.test and/or nose are better in some ways but I haven't bothered checking further. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
