It seems the "official" way to do it would be to prepare the source and then upload it as a patch to sourceforge. At least I would like the people on python-dev to comment (most of them aren't subscribed to distutils-sig).
Good point - that would make sense.
One important point IMO: No additional code should be checked in without proper documentation! Does anyone want to help here?
True. As I'm pushing for this, I should offer to help. Unfortunately, I'm extremely busy the rest of this week and the next two, so if someone else can do it that would be good. Otherwise, I'll try to do something in early February.
I'd suggest printing "No tests defined", to act as a reminder that tests would be nice... Hmm. Not sure...
How about keeping track of how many tests get run and printing "X tests completed" at the end? I guess it depends - I just worry that if people type "python setup.py test" and see no feedback, this will feel more reassuring than it should. Paul.
