I would have to agree with that since I've had to work with Word 2007 issues with formatting from some...demanding people in the past. Took at least 1hour plus. On Sat, Aug 15, 2009 at 8:22 PM, Steven D'Aprano < st...@remove-this-cybersource.com.au> wrote: > On Sat, 15 Aug 2009 12:24:26 -0700, Jo

Re: unittest

This is an interesting question. I am just wondering: do you really have that many features that it would be impossible to just have a shell script run specific types of input or tests? When I did programming in the past for education they just had lists of input data and we ran the program agains

If it were me I'd go with python at least based on the fact that it's more supported and more popular, enough so that it has o'reiley soruces on it. On Sat, Aug 15, 2009 at 3:32 PM, Jaseem wrote: > Hi, > > Is python similar to actionscript 3.0 > Which is better to create a rich gui internet appl

Re: ignored test cases in unittest

Yes, should be more than 200. But now 187+ are running (some are 'ignored').It's a personal project, I just don't feel safe without all the testing as it grows bigger and bigger. On Sun, Aug 16, 2009 at 11:40 AM, John Haggerty wrote: > So you are saying you have several hundred tests you have t

Re: "for" cycle with assigning index

Thanks all, especially Dennis for your detailed answer. left_arr_indexes is list of nonnegative integers, eg [0,0,0,1,1,4] IndDict is a dict like {0: [1,2], 3: [0,1], 10:[0,2,3]}, so that's why I don't use python list instead. The code is taken from OpenOpt framework that I develop. Currently I hav
