I will work on a package and add it to the repositories tomorrow. Best regards, Lukas
Re: TAP testing in Python
I’ve never used unittest, but from my experience pytest has all the qualities you could wish for.

I didn’t realize it at first, but since pytest-tap outputs TAP already, a very simple shell wrapper invoking pytest with the right arguments should be enough to integrate it with the existing test structure. One friction point with pytest-tap is that it’s not in the official Arch repositories, unlike all the other libraries aurweb depends on. Most Python developers should be familiar with pip and virtualenv though, but that’s inconsistent with the instructions in TESTING that suggest using pacman to install Python dependencies.

I have a slight personal preference towards pytest. However, the much more important questions to ask are: 1. How easy/convenient will it be to write tests for aurweb using the framework? What about maintainability? 2. How easy/straightforward will it be for future contributors to write tests using the framework? 3. How well does the framework integrate with the current test suite? Having a small script that can be fully included in our source tree is a nice bonus but shouldn't be one of the main criteria. How hard would it be to make pytest-tap compatible with the usual TAP test invocation? Lukas
