Yes, occasionally. Esp. with test_compiler a testall run is an overnight job but I try to do it every now and again.

[Fredrik Lundh] does anyone ever use the -u options when running tests? Yes -- I routinely do -uall, under both release and debug builds, but only on Windows. WinXP in particular seems to do a good job when hyper-threading is available -- running the tests doesn't slow down anything else I'm doing, except during the disk-intensive tests (test_largefile is a major pig on Windows). ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
