distutils `requires' tag

[jimburton]

Hi, I'm using python 2.3.5 and want to use distutils to distribute a
module that depends on another - is there any way to specify that?
Something like:

setup(name='aimspy',
   ...
   requires = { 'jpype': '*'},
  )

Thanks

Organising unit tests

[jimburton]

I have a number of unit tests organised hierarchically, all of which
inherit fixtures from a base class. To run these all at once I started
out using

from basic import map, directionalpan, layerorder, layervisibility,
listlayers, streamlayerlist
# ... lots more ...

suite0 =
unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromTestCase(directionalpan.TestPan)
suite1 =
unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromTestCase(layerorder.TestLayerorder)
# ... lots more ...

alltests = unittest.TestSuite([suite0
   , suite1
   ])
unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2).run(alltests)

Which is unmaintainable. the TestLoader docs warn that
loadTestsFromModule will not play nicely with my situation and indeed
if I try

suite0 = unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromModule(basic)

then run the tests, it hasn't picked any up. I suppose I could collect
and run the tests with a shell script...what are my options here to
avoid hardcoding and maintaining the list of tests, and how is it
normally done?

Thanks.

Use a regex to split the contents and insert new stuff, eg

import re
prog = prog = re.compile('^(.*)()', re.DOTALL)
m = prog.search(f.read())

then m.group(1) is everything before  and m.group(2) is .
Put them together with your new tag and write it back to the file

Re: Organising unit tests

[jimburton]

OK, so I'm trying to collect the tests with python and add them to the
test suite dynamically, but I have a problem with module names. Here's
what I've got:
#
import os
from os.path import join
import unittest

alltests = unittest.TestSuite()

def mightBeATest(f):
#TODO check whether it really is a test
return f.endswith('.py') and f != '__init__.py'

def isModule(d):
if not os.path.isdir(d):
return False
for f in os.listdir(d):
if f == '__init__.py':
  return True
return False


def getTestsFromDir(dir, currentmod):
for f in os.listdir(dir):
if not f.startswith('.'):
if isModule(f):
#TODO how to check whether we are several modules in?
mod = __import__(f)
getTestsFromDir(os.path.join(dir, f), mod)
elif mightBeATest(os.path.join(dir, f)):
fname, etx = os.path.splitext(f)
print 'adding test
with',('alltests.addTests(unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromTestCase('+(currentmod.__dict__[fname])+'))')

eval('alltests.addTests(unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromTestCase('+currentmod.__dict__[fname]+'))')


getTestsFromDir(os.curdir, None)
print alltests.countTestCases()


it's importing and referring to the current module that I have a
problem with...it gives me a key error.

I've been known to open a bottle of wine with a pencil. Works fine.

problem getting started with pyDB2

[jimburton]

Hi, I'm using python 2.4, DB2 8.1 (with development libraries) on
ubuntu linux 5.10. I installed PyDB2 1.1 but when I try to connect to
any database I've got this:

>>> import DB2
>>> conn = DB2.connect(dsn='sample', uid='db2inst1', pwd='secret')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/DB2.py", line 271, in __init__
self._db = _db2.connect(*args, **kwargs)
_db2.DatabaseError: ('I', -1, 'Invalid Handle')
>>>

After installing pydb2 I got errors about the missing file libdb2.so.1
so I copied this file from /opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/lib into /usr/lib - am I
now missing other libs? If so how do I let python know about the db2
libs?

Thanks!
