[issue8273] move generally useful test_support functions into the unittest package
Ezio Melotti ezio.melo...@gmail.com added the comment: Also note that the test_support module is for some reason documented here: http://docs.python.org/library/test.html#module-test.test_support This means that there are probably developers out there that are already using these functions even if some of them are not intended/designed to be used outside the Python test suite. This situation is sub-optimal for two reasons: 1) test_support can't evolve quickly because the documented functions have to be backward-compatible; 2) other developers are using these python-test-suite-specific functions in their tests; It would be better to keep test_support for our test suite only and provide/move useful function in unittest. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8273 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue8273] move generally useful test_support functions into the unittest package
Raymond Hettinger rhettin...@users.sourceforge.net added the comment: If anything gets moved, it needs to be part of a very well thought-out plan with the same high threshold for approval that it would have had if it weren't in test_support. The unittest module already brims with complexity and would suffer quite a bit if a hodge-podge of functions were added. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8273 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
