Well, I once modified the code profiler to do statement coverage. Go here:
http://musi-cal.mojam.com/~skip/python/
and search for "test coverage tool". Take a look here:
http://musi-cal.mojam.com/~skip/python/Python/dist/src/Lib/StringIO.py
to get an idea of the sort of output it generates. At one point I was cvs
up'ing from the Python CVS repository each night and generating browsable C
and Python statement coverage output, which is available here:
http://musi-cal.mojam.com/~skip/python/Python/dist/src/
This little project used the above Python statement coverage generator as
well as gprof and some glue scripts to generate the output you see. It
wasn't perfect, but still useful. I don't have the spare CPU cycles on that
machine anymore to bear the extra load.
If someone would like to resurrect that, let me know.
