[Python-Dev] Converting tests to unittest/doctest?

[Titus Brown]

Hi all,

a bit of grep'ping and personal examination discovered the following
tests in trunk/ that could be converted to unittest or doctests.  Any
thoughts, pro or con?

(I understand from Brett that the goal is to eradicate "old-style"
tests, by which I think he means tests that do not use unittest or
doctest.  There are some good reasons to switch to using unittests, not
least of which is that you can use a variety of frameworks (nose,
py.test) to do value-added wrapping and management of such tests.)

Suggestions for additional things to test or tests to modify, clean up,
or extend and expand are welcome.

thanks,
--titus
