When I said "if needed", I meant "if not already there". Maybe somebody knows a smart solution with rsync or with ftp. Still, then you'd run your tests on Windows, but the code is for Solaris. >> But uhhm, this is not Python at all ;-) > > I was hoping for clemency on this point due to the earlier thread(s) I > started (Which included Python's unittest module.). I *love* Git (well, that sounds *very* geeky!) so I don't mind at all. Once you've got it running, you could install a commit hook that runs nosetests (or even tox). That's just two lines (a shebang and a call to once of those scripts) and then your unittests will be run automatically every time you do a git commit.
