Oh, for files such 'specific_fns/model_free.py' which is ~5600 lines long, it might be better to have multiple unit files corresponding to the single file.

As ususal having done things the wrong way round I am now implementing unit tests for the ieee float functions. Here is my suggestion: 0. use unittest, it is a tried and tested methodology 1. if you have a file fred.py it should be accompanied by a unit test files test_fred.py with the correct main function 2. if you have test data to go with fred.py it should be in a directory test_data_fred 3. modify the relax test suite to scan the source directories for files with the correct names and apply the tests... as a general note you ought to write the unit tests first ;-) before coding if you want to stick to the 'true philosophy' of this methodology so the idea is 1. suggest feature 2. define relevant unit tests 3. code unit tests 4. code feature 5. check / correct / add more unit tests as needed regards gary -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Gary Thompson Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology, University of Leeds, Astbury Building, Leeds, LS2 9JT, West-Yorkshire, UK Tel. +44-113-3433024 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax +44-113-2331407 ------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ relax (http://nmr-relax.com) This is the relax-devel mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this list, get a password reminder, or change your subscription options, visit the list information page at https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/relax-devel
