Raymond Hettinger 68804315e0 SF Patch #1093896: miscellaneous doc typos 2005-01-01 00:28:46 +00:00
Johannes Gijsbers eaaa771816 Clarify that it's not necessary to subclass from TestCase to create a
test case. As Jeremy put it: "subclassing is an implementation
technique, not a type declaration".

Raymond Hettinger a4ce2f5116 SF bug #855317: unittest: 5.3.9 Getting Extended Error Information
The example code did not work and could not easily be made to work.
Since the docs were already complex and the feature was not used
(it took two years for the errors to surface), we decided to dedocument
it entirely, leaving unittest cleaner than before.

Michael W. Hudson aab0260682 Remove erroneous period. 2003-02-10 19:21:16 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger c7b076928c Incorporate Skip's suggestion to use SciPy's validation test near
equality.  Note, there is another flavor that compares to a given
number of significant digits rather than decimal places.  If there
is a demand, that could be added at a later date.

Fred Drake 62a26699c4 Added module synopsis for the chapter summary.

Update the descriptions to reflect further changes from discussions on
the pyunit-interest list.

Added documentation for the defaultTestLoader object and the
TestLoader methods.

Fred Drake b9ad228798 Start of documentation for the unittest module. Some of this comes from
Steve Purcell's documentation, and a lot of it is written based on
using PyUnit and reading the implementation.

There is more to come, but I want to get this check in before I have a
disk crash or anything else bad happens.
