My idea above won't really support Armin's idea of being able to exclude
certain known-broken implementations. The check function would need to
be handled differently to support that use case:
# In test_support.py
vm = platform.python_implementation().lower()
reference_vm = "cpython"
def check_impl_detail(implemented=(reference_vm,), broken=()):
# Skip known broken implementations
if broken:
broken = [vm.lower() for vm in broken]
if vm in broken:
return False
# Only check named implementations
if implemented:
implemented = [vm.lower() for vm in implemented]
return vm in implemented
# No specific implementations named, so expect it to
# work on implementations that are not known to be broken
return True
def impl_detail(implemented=(reference_vm,), broken=(), msg=''):
if check_impl_detail(implemented, broken):
# Test the implementation detail
else:
# Skip this test (incude 'msg' in the skip message)
It would be pretty easy to build cpython_only, jython_only, pypy_only
etc checks and decorators on top of that kind of infrastructure.
