[Pyunit-interest] PyUnit in Python 2.1 standard library

[Steve P. <ste...@ya...>]

Hi everyone,

PyUnit just got checked into the Python 2.1 standard library, and should
make the Python 2.1b2 release! I hope this turns out to the all-round
Good Thing that I think it is. 

Many thanks to Fred Drake for helping to make this happen! Fred has
already put a couple of PyUnit-based tests into the Python regression
test suite. (e.g. test/test_fnmatch.py)

Thanks also to all of you who've used and endorsed PyUnit, and sent
suggestions and patches to me!

If *you* are able to try running your existing PyUnit tests using this new
standard library version of 'unittest.py', please can you do so and let me know
how you get on!

Note that 'unittestgui.py' is *not* in the python standard library; it may
be distributed in 'Tools' or separately.

Ongoing PyUnit development will continue on the PyUnit site, and changes
will be coordinated between the standard library version and the independently
distributed version. The independent version will be mainly for users
of pre-2.1 Pythons (myself included, for a little while at least). 

The only significant change envisioned is an addition of support for code
coverage measurement. (I want to make sure that is done without breaking
compatibility with Jython.)

I'd like to see some development of testing GUIs start now; integration
with one or more of the prevalent Python IDEs would be great.

Best wishes to all,

-Steve
