[issue9370] Add reader redirect from test package docs to unittest module
New submission from Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan@gmail.com>: Brett updated the docs for the test package to (correctly) point out that it is our internal testing package and isn't subject to the same stringent backwards compatibility rules as the rest of the standard library. A "see also" link pointing readers that have landed there over to the unittest module for their testing infrastructure needs would be a friendly thing to include. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation keywords: easy messages: 111450 nosy: docs@python, ncoghlan priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Add reader redirect from test package docs to unittest module versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9370> _______________________________________

Sandro Tosi <sandro.tosi@gmail.com> added the comment: Hi Nick, the "See also" section already points to unittest module; are you asking to extend its description to mention that's the tool people should use for their unittest suites?

Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan@gmail.com> added the comment: Yeah, I think I wrote this issue based on the diff that added the new note at the top, rather than looking at the existing intro text that already references unittest and doctest. No need to change anything after all. ---------- resolution: -> invalid status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9370> _______________________________________
