i used Eric4 briefly. it was dog slow: IMHO, it's too big of an app to be written in PyQt.
as far as unit testing, it's something that i never saw the need for until the most recent version of pymel. we've got multiple developers working on one large project and we need to make sure its many features work as expected on multiple platforms, and multiple versions of maya. our unit tests ensure that by fixing one thing, we don't cause another thing to regress. right now we're using a combination of unittest for formal testing, doctest for getting tests out of documentation strings, and nose for easily gathering it all together and running the whole thing as a test suite. a production pipeline faces many of the same complexities as pymel -- multiple OS's, multiple developers -- but, at least in our case, it's much more dynamic so if tests are to be run on the update of every file they have to be fast. we still have not added tests to our basic pipeline, but it's definitely under consideration. -chad On Mar 10, 2009, at 9:32 AM, Jamie Macdougall wrote: > > Anyone use Eric4? > > On Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 7:20 AM, Randy Stebbing <randystebb...@gmail.com > > wrote: >> Wing itself comes in 3 editions: 101, Personal and Professional. >> When you >> pay for the professional edition you'll have some rather nice >> features >> enabled like unit testing hooks, interactive debug probe with auto >> completion, source code assistant, and source control integration. >> >> An open source program, built on WX, called "Editra" ships with the >> installation of wxPython 2.8.
