This is mostly a software design/engineering question: There are a large number of XFAILed tests in the test suite and some of them are rather slow. Here's a sample output:
sympy/core/tests/test_wester.py[396] .........ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff fXffwffffffffffffffffwffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffwfffffffffffffffffffffffffff fffffffffffffffffffffff.fffffffwffffffffffffffffwfffwfffffffffff....swssws..wwww wwwww........................................................................... ................................................................................ sympy/galgebra/tests/test_ga.py[23] .....ffffff............ [OK] sympy/geometry/tests/test_geometry.py[24] ........................ [OK] sympy/integrals/tests/test_deltafunctions.py[2] .. [OK] sympy/integrals/tests/test_failing_integrals.py[20] ffffwfwffffwwffwfwws [OK] What is the is benefit of all these XFAIL'ed tests? I can understand that they serve a purpose in documenting behavior but why not just SKIP them to cut down on testing time? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
