pytest-xdist-1.11: restarting crash nodes, fixture cache fix
by holger krekel 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

I just released pytest-xdist-1.11, the distributed testing plugin for pytest. It introduces automatic restarting of crashed nodes, courtesy of a complete PR from Floris Bruynooghe. This also works well together with pytest-timeout by the same author: When one or more test functions hang or crash, the overall test run will still complete and report about the incidents. See the changelog below for more changes and the pypi project page for what pytest-xdist offers in general: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest-xdist/ Thanks also to an undisclosed company who partly funded the work and to Andreas Pelme for contributing analysis of a fixture caching failure including a test. best, Holger Krekel 1.11 ------------------------- - fix pytest/xdist issue485 (also depends on py-1.4.22): attach stdout/stderr on --boxed processes that die. - fix pytest/xdist issue503: make sure that a node has usually two items to execute to avoid scoped fixtures to be torn down pre-maturely (fixture teardown/setup is "nextitem" sensitive). Thanks to Andreas Pelme for bug analysis and failing test. - restart crashed nodes by internally refactoring setup handling of nodes. Also includes better code documentation. Many thanks to Floris Bruynooghe for the complete PR.

ANN: wxPython 3.0.1.1
by Robin Dunn 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Announcing ---------- wxPython 3.0.1.1 (classic) has been released and is now available for download at http://wxpython.org/download.php. This build adds some updates of the 3rdParty libraries that were left out of the last build by mistake. Various binaries are available for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, and also for OSX using the Carbon and Cocoa APIs, for Python 2.6 and 2.7. Source code is also available at http://wxpython.org/download.php of course, for building your own. What is wxPython? ----------------- wxPython is a GUI toolkit for the Python programming language. It allows Python programmers to create programs with a robust, highly functional graphical user interface, simply and easily. It is implemented as a set of Python extension modules that wrap the GUI components of the popular wxWidgets cross platform library, which is written in C++. wxPython is a cross-platform toolkit. This means that the same program will usually run on multiple platforms without modifications. Currently supported platforms are 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows, most Linux or other Unix-like systems using GTK2, and Mac OS X 10.4+. In most cases the native widgets are used on each platform to provide a 100% native look and feel for the application. -- Robin Dunn Software Craftsman http://wxPython.org
