Re: Python for testing

[Kenny Smith]

I've been getting into junit a lot recently, and loving it. I would love to help out with writing some junit protocol tests. Or come to think of it, I wonder if junit.org already has some premade smtp or pop junit tests. I'll take a look, but I doubt they have them.

Is anyone working on junit tests that I should collaborate with or shall I charge boldly forward?

jython.

Having tests for our own uses is paramount, even if we learn from mistakes
and then re-do them.

I think that you should go ahead and get tests ready ASAP. We can learn
from them if we decide that we need to re-implement them in something other
than python.
