Recently i noticed a new need. The collecting/asserting various kinds of data during a testrun.
I noticed the following (partially hpyothetical) cases in various projects * pip records file changes to the virtualenv it makes for testing * pypy records jit compile results/dumps * jinja2 should record asts and the compile results of templates it tests * the logcapture extension * the build-in io captureing i think i would be helpful/practical to have a common way to record those things and navigate them in extended test reporters adding propper timing information to lines/data could help even more (for having a common timeline of different event sources) since this topic is rather hard to manage i hope for some dicussion on the needs others see, as well as if/how this could add more to the testing regards Ronny _______________________________________________ py-dev mailing list py-dev@codespeak.net http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/py-dev
