flag, which specifies external or resource intensive tests to
perform. This is used by test_largefile and test_socket_ssl.
-u/--use takes a comma separated list of flags, currently supported:
largefile, network.
usage(): New function. Note that the semantics of main() have changed
slightly; instead of returning an error code, it raises a
SystemExit (via sys.exit()) with the given error code.
main(): use_large_resources => use_resources
Also, added support for long-option alternative to the short
options.
_expectations: Added test_socket_ssl to the list of expectedly skipped
tests.
name of the test, only write the output file if it already exists (and
tell the user to consider removing it). This avoids the generation of
unnecessary turds.
When regrtest.py finds an attribute "test_main" in a test it imports,
regrtest runs the test's test_main after the import. test_threaded_import
needs this else the cross-thread import lock prevents it from making
progress. Other tests can use this hack too, but I doubt it will ever be
popular.
The changes cause compilation failures in any file in the Python
installation lib directory to cause the install to fail. It looks
like compileall.py intended to behave this way, but a change to
py_compile.py and a separate bug defeated it.
Fixes SF bug #412436
This change affects the test suite, which contains several files that
contain intentional errors. The solution is to extend compileall.py
with the ability to skip compilation of selected files.
In the test suite, rename nocaret.py and test_future[3..7].py to start
with badsyntax_nocaret.py and badsyntax_future[3..7].py. Update the
makefile to skip compilation of these files. Update the tests to use
the name names for imports.
NB compileall.py is changed so that compile_dir() returns success only
if all recursive calls to compile_dir() also check success.
1. When running in verbose mode, if any test happens to pass, print
a warning that the apparent success may be bogus (stdout isn't
compared in verbose mode). Been fooled by that too often.
2. When a test fails because the expected stdout doesn't match the
actual stdout, print as much of stdout as did match before the
first failing write. Else we get failures of the form "expected
'a', got 'b'" and a glance at the expected output file shows
500 instances of 'a' -- no idea where it failed, and, as in #1,
trying to run in verbose mode instead doesn't help because
stdout isn't compared then.
First, only report garbage that the GC cannot free. Second, only report
the number of objects found, not their repr(). People can dig deeper on
their own if they find a leak.
comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in
test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").
There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)
The Compare close contains a close method that checks to see if there
is any unconsumed data in the Compare instance; i.e. if the canonical
output file contains more data than was produced by the current test
run. This method was never called, allowing differences to go
undetected.
Fix is to call close after the test is run (after __import__)
output/test_long and output/test_popen2 needed trivial changes
output/test_select contained lots of text, but test_select.py produced
no output
allows the caller to execute the various tests in pseudo-random order -
default is still to execute tests in the order returned by findtests().
* moved initialization of the various flag variables to the main() function
definition, making it possible to execute regrtest.main() interactively
and still override default behavior.
weird errors. (E.g. see thread "weird bug in test_winreg" in python-dev.)
Since it's actually useful to be able to re-run an individual test
after running test.autotest, we keep the unloading code, but only for
modules whose full name starts with "test.".

test_support, test_b1 & test_b2 are executed (and warnings issued).

default and -v. In default mode, the name of each test is printed.
-v is the same as the old -vv. -q is more quiet than the old default
mode; that's fine I think.
