That was where I got confused: many issues are easy to reproduce ('test'), but need some thinking to get automated tests right.
urllib always feels like this to me, except 'thinking' -> 'getting lost over and over'. Reading 'test needed' as 'automated test needed', things make a lot of sense. I have to test my patch against a good representation of the issue, regression tests must pass, 'automated test needed' fits well :)
Go with "Unit test needed" so it's short and to the point and you have a deal. =)
Can I just say (without in any way wanting to get involved in what might be considered as "work") that it's encouraging the tracker received a bit more TLC we might eventually be able to see at least the occasional week where the issue count increment was negative :) So thanks to everyone who's taking the time to deal with this low-profile not-very-glamorous issue. I, for one, appreciate it. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/
