New submission from Daniel Stutzbach <dan...@stutzbachenterprises.com>:
Recently it came to light that the classes in C and Python implementations of the io module have slightly different attributes (issue9858). I propose the addition of a helper function in Lib/test/support.py to verify that the classes in two different implementations define the same attributes. Then, we can add tests to use that function to verify that C and Python implementations define the same API (for the io module, but also for other modules where we have two implementations). The script I added to issue9858 could serve as a starting point for such a function. Since CPython's standard library is the de facto reference implementation, it's important that it define one API and not two slightly different ones. :-) ---------- components: Tests messages: 116445 nosy: stutzbach priority: low severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Add tests to verify API match of modules with 2 implementations type: feature request versions: Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9859> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
