New submission from Armin Rigo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: This patch contains a first step towards classifying CPython tests into language tests and implementation-details tests. The patch is against the 2.7 trunk's test_descr.py. It is derived from a similar patch that we wrote for the 2.5's test_descr.py in order to make it pass on PyPy.
The main new feature introduced here is a couple of helpers in test_support - see comments and docstrings in the patch. The main ones are "check_impl_detail", which is a flag which is False on non-CPython hosts; and "impl_detail", a decorator to skip whole functions based on the "check_impl_detail" flag. If this patch is accepted, then we plan to port many more of PyPy's patches for core tests, as a step towards helping non-CPython implementations to obtain a good test suite. ---------- components: Tests files: test-impl-details.diff keywords: patch, patch messages: 75373 nosy: arigo, cfbolz severity: normal status: open title: Classify language vs. impl-detail tests, step 1 type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file11910/test-impl-details.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4242> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
