Thanks, John, I think there's a true, powerful, difference between inline tests and external (albeit adjacent) ones. I think the developer experience should be superior with inline tests for several reasons: - during initial development, without any navigation beyond the Enter key, you flow directly from writing the test to writing the code that implements it; - later, on review, the tests have not moved away from the code they test, so: ----if there are errors, the alarms show up right beside the erroneous code; ----if you are looking for examples of how to call a routine, the example is right there.
But I take your point; this doesn't belong in Python. OK. Thanks. Peace, --Carl -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
