[Python-Dev] Converting tests to unittest/doctest?
Hi all, a bit of grep'ping and personal examination discovered the following tests in trunk/ that could be converted to unittest or doctests. Any thoughts, pro or con? (I understand from Brett that the goal is to eradicate old-style tests, by which I think he means tests that do not use unittest or doctest. There are some good reasons to switch to using unittests, not least of which is that you can use a variety of frameworks (nose, py.test) to do value-added wrapping and management of such tests.) Suggestions for additional things to test or tests to modify, clean up, or extend and expand are welcome. thanks, --titus --- test_select test_contains test_crypt test_dbm test_dummy_threading test_errno test_getargs test_gdbm test_pep247 test_strftime test_thread test_queue test_fcntl test_format test_curses test_descr test_funcattrs test_gdbm test_socketserver ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

Yep! - From what remains of the spreadsheet used during the Sprint - (http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pBLWM8elhFAmKbrhhh0ApQApli=1), - I believe you can add the following tests to your list: - - test_tokenize - test_cProfile - test_extcall - test_logging - test_profile - test_thread - (and maybe test_pep277 that seems to use both unittest and test.test_support - ) These were already done as part of GHOP, just not all checked in yet -- we're waiting for some contributor agreements. But thanks, that's exactly the sort of info I'm looking for! cheers, --titus ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
