At the moment, the test for the platform module merely calls each function. I realize that this is a hard module to test well, but are there some assumptions we can make? For example, if sys.platform is 'java', can it be assumed that java_ver is going to return something which is not empty. When sys.platform is 'darwin' and the gestalt module is present, is it reasonable to require that a empty tuple not be returned?
Yes, at least the main elements should be present and filled in. If not, we have to fix platform.py. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, May 16 2008) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ :::: Try mxODBC.Zope.DA for Windows,Linux,Solaris,MacOSX for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
