That will work. t.unittest.main(t) will also work and is less typing. > Should this always work even if there is still a test_main? It will work if and only if the test can be run correctly via './python -m unittest test.test_xxx'. Not all test files in Lib/test can be run that way (though I at least am open to fixing ones that don't work). --David _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
