http://dev.pypi.python.org is cool. Just don't forget to document it on http://wiki.python.org/moin/CheeseShopDev For selenium/functional tests a local copy of stripped DB is usually sufficient. I don't see a reason for server side test environment for them - local machines usually work faster and require only one instance configuration. -- anatoly t. _______________________________________________ pydotorg-www mailing list pydotorg-www@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pydotorg-www
