Not sure what you mean by this, can you give a simple example? > - unittests for reading and saving files in a specific way (= sanity > tests for file handling) When I want to test a function that writes a file I usually have a collection of reference files and compare the actual results of running the function against the reference file. To test reading a file, again I have a reference file that is read, then I test the results of the read. Round-trip tests can be helpful too - read a file, write the data back out and compare with the original. > Point is that I want to test such methods directly, but also that I > cannot set up unittest in my case without getting some data from a file > (otherwise my testing module would get way too big). Not sure why that is a problem... HTH Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
