Re: [Zope3-dev] zc.testbrowser alpha 1 released
hey benji, do you see a chance to use zc.testbrowser on remote (headless) machines in combination with buildbot? jodok On 28.09.2007, at 16:06, Benji York wrote: zc.testbrowser 1.0a1 I am very pleased to announce the first alpha release of zc.testbrowser: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.testbrowser zc.testbrowser is a refactoring of zope.testbrowser to remove the Zope-specific bits plus the addition of the zc.testbrowser.real module.

I plan to rework the doctests to be more documenty in the near future and will mention this as a best practice. -- Benji York Senior Software Engineer Zope Corporation ___ Zope3-dev mailing list Zope3-dev@zope.org Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

I'm so happy that your plans worked out as you were trying this for quite some time already. Congratulations and thanks to everyone on that!
