Re: simple web/html testing
For static html testing, I'd avoid using Selenium. Even though Selenium is
*the* tool for RIA and javascript intensive environments, feels like bringing
up a browser with all the coordination and resources that it takes just to
crawl the website and find 404s is an overkill.
What we implemented for doing that is just a simple crawler based on urllib:
class LinkTest(MechanizeTestCase):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(LinkTest, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.pages = ['/?']
self.exceptions = ['/forums',
'/blog']
def _page_test(self, url):
try:
self.get(url[1:], local=True)
except Exception, e:
raise Exception("Couldn't test %s - %s (%s)" % (url, e,
self.exceptions))
try:
links = self.mbrowser.links()
except mechanize.BrowserStateError, e:
return
for l in links:
if not l.url.startswith('/'):
continue
if l.url in self.exceptions:
continue
self.pages.append(l.url)
self.pages = list(set(self.pages))
try:
mechanize.urlopen(l.absolute_url)
#Apparently this will raise with the HTTP Error code
except Exception, e:
raise Exception("Error with link '%s' on page '%s'" % (l.url,
url))
def test_all_links(self):
while self.pages:
x = self.pages.pop()
if x not in self.exceptions:
print "Trying %s" % x
self._page_test(x)
self.exceptions.append(x)
self.exceptions = list(set(self.exceptions))
And basically, MechanizeTestCase is a couple of handy assertions as well as
instantiating a mechanize instance:
class MechanizeTestCase(TestCase):
def setUp(self, extra=None):
self.config = load_config() or self.fail('Failed to load config.')
def __init__(self, arg):
super(MechanizeTestCase, self).__init__(arg)
self.mbrowser = mechanize.Browser()
def get(self, url, local=True):
self.last_url = url
if local:
url = self.config['base-url'] + url
self._page = self.mbrowser.open(url)
self._content = self._page.read()
def submitForm(self):
self._page = self.mbrowser.submit()
self._content = self._page.read()
def assertWantedContent(self, content):
self.assertTrue(content in self._content,
"couldn't find %s in /%s" % (content, self.last_url))
def assertUrl(self, url):
self.assertEqual(self.config['base-url'] + url, self._page.geturl(),
"wrong url expected: %s, received: %s, content: %s" % (url,
self._page.geturl(), self._content))
Hope this helps

Re: PEP 372 -- Adding an ordered directory to collections
Hi all, I'm a first-time writer here, so excuse me if I say something inappropriate or such. Last week, I was reviewing some Python 2.7 modules when I came across the OrderedDict data structure. After seeing its official implementation and also after reading through the corresponding PEP, I figured out another way of implementing it. As I recently saw here, the idea is similar to the one proposed by bearophile, but nevertheless I think it is more efficient since there is no need to perform lookups multiple times. The idea is to embed the doubly-linked list of items in the dictionary itself, and extend the values inserted by providing a node as a 4-tuple . Of course, references to the first and last nodes must be kept too, in addition to the dictionary. After implementing this approach, I experimented a little bit and compared both versions (i.e., the official one that uses an extra dictionary and mine) by measuring the running times of some basic operations. I verified that it indeed outperforms the existing implementation. I made up a recipe with the code and several comments, including more details about the experimentation mentioned above: http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577826-yet-another-ordered-dictionary/ Comments will be surely appreciated!

The correct spelling is 'exempli gratia'. It's Latin.
i.e., on the other hand, comes from 'id est' ('that is'). Latin too.
