[issue15521] Dev Guide should say how to run tests in 2.7
New submission from Chris Jerdonek: The Dev Guide should say the preferred way (or even a way) to run tests using the Python 2.7 build: http://docs.python.org/devguide/runtests.html This will help submitters who want to check that their patch works with 2.7. In Python 2.7, this did not work (for obvious reasons): $ ./python.exe -m test .../python.exe: No module named test.__main__; 'test' is a package and cannot be directly executed But this did: $ ./python.exe -m test.regrtest Is the latter the preferred way? ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Devguide, Documentation keywords: easy messages: 167099 nosy: cjerdonek, docs@python, ezio.melotti priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Dev Guide should say how to run tests in 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15521> _______________________________________

I didn't catch that, thanks.
Do you want to propose a patch for runtest.rst?
Sure. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15521> _______________________________________

Ezio Melotti added the comment: Thanks for the patch. I'm not sure it's necessary to add a new section though, unless you are planning to add more differences there. +base command instead of the one described above: :: You can just use "... above::" here. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15521> _______________________________________
Chris Jerdonek added the comment: It is a relatively large section (nine paragraphs + six code snippets) and is primarily about the in-development branch, so I did not want to interrupt the flow with a remark specific to 2.7. I also liked that the instructions in a subsection could be linked to. But here is a new patch. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file26652/issue-15521-2.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15521> _______________________________________
