It also contains TimeStamp, which will get moved out of persistent.
Why?
I don't see any uses of TimeStamp by the transaction package. In
your new package, it is only used by its tests.
D'oh! You're right. Out it goes. I wrote tests for it, I'll add
them to the persistent package.
Thanks!
The tests work (reqt's are downloaded) if you do "setup.py test -q"
Yawn. IMO, the test command in setuptools is a waste of time,
because it doesn't work with anything else.
It runs all the tests, even the doctests, if thats what you mean.
See the "additional_tests" hair in the test modules.
My point is that the meta data you added to the setup.py only works
with setup.py. It isn't accessible to any other test runners. I
shouldn't have yawned. It is significant that the tests work. :) I
just don't find this way of running the tests to be useful. The
first time I work on this package, I'll add a buildout.cfg so I can
use the Zope test runner. At that point, I'll have to deal with
these extra requirements in another way (which is no big deal).
zope.interface is a real requirement. It is already in
test_requires.
Over time, we need to clean up the transaction tests so they don't
use ZODB.
Yeah, given that we're name this thing "transaction", it's an
actually an immediate requirement.
If you are going to spend the time, then, uh, sure. ;) Seriously,
while I would love to see this cleaned up, I don't think I would
consider this super urgent. I guess that depends on competing
priorities.
There's only one test that uses anything that can't be mocked up
in the transaction package (it uses an actual MappingStorage and a
DB) itself. It also happens to be the one that fails right now; I
haven't tried to understand it yet.
Gah. BTW, if you haven't already, you should check for transaction
tests lurking in the other ZODB packages.
