Hi, just did a two test tool releases, one for tox and one for py.test. The tox-0.8 release provides fixes and workarounds, see changelog below. The py-1.3.3 release mainly provides fixes for terminal output. best & thanks to the respective feedbackers/helpers, holger What is tox? ---------------------- Tox is a generic test runner, creating virtualenv environments on the fly and executing your test tool of choice. It works conveniently from a developer's terminal as well as from a Continous Integration Server. See http://codespeak.net/tox What is py.test? ---------------------- py.test is an easy-to-learn testing tool with many plugins and features for integration and functional tests in Python. See http://pytest.org for more info. CHANGES tox-0.8 ----------------- - work around a virtualenv limitation which crashes if PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE is set. - run pip/easy installs from the environment log directory, avoids naming clashes between env names and dependencies (thanks ronny) - require a more recent version of py lib - refactor and refine config detection to work from a single file and to detect the case where a python installation overwrote an old one and resulted in a new executable. This invalidates the existing virtualenvironment now. - change all internal source to strip trailing whitespaces Changes py-1.3.3 ---------------------- - fix issue113: assertion representation problem with triple-quoted strings (and possibly other cases) - make conftest loading detect that a conftest file with the same content was already loaded, avoids surprises in nested directory structures which can be produced e.g. by Hudson. It probably removes the need to use --confcutdir in most cases. - fix terminal coloring for win32 (thanks Michael Foord for reporting) - fix weirdness: make terminal width detection work on stdout instead of stdin (thanks Armin Ronacher for reporting) - remove trailing whitespace in all py/text distribution files
