Hmmmmm.... It was once suggested (maybe by Jeroen?) that we could have, for free, a decorator like that. Something like '# optional - veryverylong'. Just add whatever tag you want after an 'optional' and it will work. There are some tests that I run 'from time to time', especially in a development phase (while a big module is being written) to make sure that all results stay correct. To take the example of Strongly Regular Graphs (SRG) that Jori mentionned, I run from time to time a script that builds them all up to n=2000 (the same was done on combinatorial designs). That's something I run to double-check what I do, but I would feel guilty if I forced anybody but me to run it regularly. I don't know how such a type of test could be named, or whether this name should be 'standard'. Just writing this to explain my situation, in case it makes more sense to somebody else :-) Nathann -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
