Comment(by nthiery):
Hi!
Cool stuff. I am about to give it a thumb up!
Three comments:
- When the category stuff will be in there, we should merge this into the
category-held tests.
But let's not wait for that.
- The code is not trivially small, so I would put it in a separate file
with the same name as the decorator
- while we are at saving on boiler plate: would it be possible for the
wrapper
to also handle the iteration loop?
One nice side benefit is that the wrapper would be aware of the value
of the seed at the begining of each iteration, and therefore could report
it in case of trouble (I have not yet played with random generators in
python, but I assume that we can access the current value of the seed
after a couple random generation). Reproducing the error would then
involve a single iteration.
