New submission from Nick Coghlan: tests.script_helper provides various utilities for sensibly testing scripts in a subprocess. It isn't easy for CPython developers to discover, since it is isn't documented and the file is mixed in with actual tests in the main test directory. As discussed in #15494, it should be: 1. Moved from Lib/test/ to Lib/test/support (and imports in tests adjusted accordingly) 2. Documented in Doc/library/test.rst These changes should be made on both the 3.3 and default branches to avoid spurious merge conflicts. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Tests messages: 193819 nosy: docs@python, ncoghlan priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Rename and document test.script_helper as test.support.script_helper type: enhancement versions: Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18576> _______________________________________
