Besides having a multitude of choices, there's almost no way to automatically discover (e.g. by metadata inspection or some such) how to invoke the tests. You're often lucky if there's a README.test and it's still accurate.
I hope we can have a "pytest" utility that does the right thing in 3.4 :-) Typing "python -m unittest discover" is too cumbersome.
Where is this work being done (e.g. is there a PEP)?
There is an open issue on the tracker: http://bugs.python.org/issue14266
--Berker
setup.py's setup(test_suite="x")... not sure if this is a distutils or setuptools feature. PEP 426 has an extension mechanism that could do the job.
This is a setuptools extension. There was some discussion for packaging/distutils2 of having test support but I have no idea if that has been picked up for the new bunch of packaging related work. Michael
