I'm not sure what you mean there, setuptools doesn't behave in any particular way when running tests. > Setuptools is already doing too many things and Tarek > is taking care (with distutils2 and distribute) to cleany separate the > functionalities, such as installing, distributing, etc. Yes, but that work is not done yet. And one thing that's needed to be able to run the tests under Python 3 is building it. So it's hard to separate the building and the running of testsm as a Python 3 capable testrunner would need to run setup.py build first anyway. Which means you depends on setuptools/distribute whichever way you turn. > Testing is not related to configuring nor installing, and "python setup.py > test" > is no more meaningful than "python setup.py makethecoffee". It might seem so, but it is unfortunately not true when considering Python 3. -- Lennart Regebro: Python, Zope, Plone, Grok http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64 _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
