I saw something on Python-List that I think is worth getting on this list as Mark gave a very good reference...

You can watch the actual video (Which I just did.), go through the slides or read the slides with the video comments transcribed in. After watching the video, I feel I have a much greater understanding of testing and Python's tools to support it than I did a few minutes ago. I highly recommend watching this video -- Mr. Batchelder is a very good speaker and presents his material very effectively. Many thanks, Mark, for this link! boB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
