Version 1.3 of the PyUnit unit testing framework is out, for those who are
interested.
Quick summary for those not familiar with PyUnit:-
- PyUnit is a Python port of Java's popular JUnit testing framework
- It provides a framework for easily writing unit and functional tests
for your Python code, for aggregating the tests to run en-masse, and
for running tests in text or GUI mode
- PyUnit has been around since 1999 and is used in many projects,
including Zope.
Here's what's new in this release:-
- Clearer and more verbose text output format
- JPython and Python 2 compatibility
- New FunctionTestCase class provides support for wrapping legacy test
functions into PyUnit test case instances
- Support for short descriptions of tests, taken from __doc__ strings
by default
- Updated and expanded documentation
- Convenient new unittest.main() function for use by all test modules
- Tests run in text mode can now be interrupted using ctrl-c

Happy testing!
