Chris Jerdonek added the comment: Actually, let me relax (1). We can just use what the argparse code calls the "default_metavar" in that case (which it constructs from the argument name). The important thing for me is not displaying the str/repr when it might not be

2013-01-18 Thread Chris Jerdonek
Chris Jerdonek added the comment: Nice/elegant idea. A couple comments: (1) What will be the semantics of TestCase/subtest failures? Currently, it looks like each subtest failure registers as an additional failure, meaning that the number of test failures can exceed the number of test cases

2013-01-25 Thread Chris Jerdonek
Chris Jerdonek added the comment: I looked into this a bit. It seems like this is because with the patch, the call to "loader.loadTestsFromModule(the_module)" inside regrtest comes before the try-finally: http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/fcdb35b114ab/Lib/test/regrtest.py#l1277 wh
