[Pyunit-interest] feature and usage questions.

[Shae E. <sh...@ua...>]

Yay PyUnit! It's easy to use and it helps me find bugs!

It's not perfect though :)
One thing I'm running across is that NameError (eg. the method doesn't
even exist yet) comes back as a Failure, not as an Error, is this the
correct behaviour?

Also, I'd like to be able merge suites, is there some way to do that?
Right now I have a test_ast.py and a test_brm.py and they both build
suites, I know I can use:
#test_all.py:
import test_ast
...
suite.addTest(test_ast.ASTTestCase("checkFileLoads"))
suite.addTest(test_brm.BRMTestCase("checkFileLoads"))
but that requires code duplication(yuk) if I want test_brm to be able to
run its own tests by itself. 
Any suggestions?
I admit, wanting one single report from multiple suites is a case of me
being nitpicky... 

As for Tk GUI support, what about sticking support for PyUnit into IDLE?
I recently found a page[1] for software that integrates JUnit into IBM
VisualAge for Java. Possibly IDLE would be a good platform for a PyUnit
builder/runner?
