-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I just committed pybsddb 4.6.4 to python svn. My next step (after a successfull buildbot cycle, I hope!) is to commit the new testsuite. First I need to review any changes there since I maintain pybsddb. The testsuite creates a lot of files/directories while working. Fine, since it cleans later, unless some test crashes hard. My testcode defines a variable to the path I want to use to keep those files/dirs. Currently it is "/tmp/z-BerkeleyDB", or something like that. Since my code allows for testcases to be run in multiple threads and/or processes, where would be a sensible path choice for temporal files?. Current working directory would be fine, if "somebody" is cleaning after running all tests. Ramdisk ("/tmp" in some systems, for example Solaris) would be nice, since some test uses transactions, and transactions are write-synchronous. In my system, runnning all tests serially (you can run all of them in parallel, if you wish) takes about 15-20 seconds. Far faster than current tests in python svn, and that can be improved even more. - -- Jesus Cea Avion _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ jcea@jcea.es - http://www.jcea.es/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ jabber / xmpp:jcea@jabber.org _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ ~ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBSCnngZlgi5GaxT1NAQLhPwP9GMMyNMgz6mfmfHXVOV8bDJGOQRok95uL 14A+K9zXW3/wlp1rhvoPmCHYqvRoCLVkPZ/7pLEQlo1ZksOlHy6BH3MDeDJEjVax 69XlzUUeuqplGbTiMdX8qd0dPi2Jp+Akg7U6ZmBdADhF7D21umU474OalKO2eIoL ba/wnlMvens= =1lai -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
