Another way that easy_install/setuptools gets tested is when projects that use it have automated, automatically scheduled tests of their install process. For example, divmod Nevow recently set up an automated test of installing Nevow using easy_install. For example, here is a successful install: http://divmod.org/users/buildbot.twistd/q-nevowinstall/builds/26/step- shell_3/0 Unfortunately, such tests only test some released version of setuptools/easy_install, not the current head version. It would be potentially interesting for such tests of setuptools-using-projects- install-and-unit-tests to be run in response to SVN checkins to setuptools (triggered by buildbot). Regards, Zooko
