I just ran the tests for zope.testing on Python 2.7, and the results
are not good. It seems that there are multiple minor difference in the
output formatting of the testresults between 2.7 and previous 2.x
versions. The result is that all the tests that test testing
(zope.testing includes a testrunner) fails.
Is these changes necessary? It's going to be hell to test any form of
testrunner under both 2.6 and 2.7 if the formatting of test results
have changed.
Can you be more specific? How has formatting changed and how has that
broken your tests?
Relying on specific formatting for test results *sounds* like you are
relying on an implementation detail (although this is one of the reasons
that I rarely use doctest exception in documentation - because it
depends on implementation details like the repr of objects...)
Some of the failure reporting in unittest has *improved* in Python 2.7 -
are you feeding the output of unittest back into doctest... ?
All the best,
Michael Foord
