Magnus,
I've been writing TextTest tests lately for an application that will be
presented at a PyCon tutorial on Agile development and testing. I
have to say that if your application does a lot of logging, then the
TextTest tests become very fragile in the presence of changes. So I had
to come up

By sheer coincidence I was looking into the same thing today. I just
downloaded the latest rrdtool release (rrdtool-1.2.11) and I noticed a

need to install tons of prerequisites before I can build rrdtool.

Actually, a while ago I started a python project called perfstats

I recommend py.log (part of the py lib) as an example of a pythonic
implementation of logging. It uses a keyword-based mechanism and it
distinguishes between producers of log messages (i.e. your app) and
consumers of log messages (i.e. stdout, stderr, a database, a mail
server, etc.)

I concur with Larry. I find that by properly abstracting the database

and I'm connecting as MySQL user root

How is your Firebird database configured -- Classic Server or Super
Server? If it's in classic server mode, you don't need to worry about
the host portion. You do need to worry about permissions on the
database file. I got it to work by making it 664 and owner + group
firebird.

At a command prompt, do which python to see where the python binary

If your app is written in Java, take a look at Marathon
