"Ran 0 tests" -- does that give you a clue? Nose is not running any tests. I have never used nose, so I don't know how you write tests for it, but whatever you are supposed to do, you haven't done it. Let's see what Google has to say... this looks promising. http://nose.readthedocs.org/en/latest/testing.html As far as I can tell from about 30 seconds reading that page, your tests have to inherit from unittest.TestCase, or they have to be in a function, class or module called TestMatch. (There must be something useful about nose, but frankly I don't see the benefit of running it instead of just using unittest directly.) Personally, I recommend you start with doctests rather than nose or unittest. Change your module to this: === cut === def stand_and_deliver(): """Always returns 52. >>> stand_and_deliver() 52 """ return 52 def stupid_error(): """This is my stupid error. >>> stupid_error() 17 """ return stand_and_deliver() + 1000 if __name__ == '__main__': import doctest failed, run = doctest.testmod() if failed == 0: print("Successfully ran %d doc tests." % run) === cut === Run that file, and you should get 1 failed test out of 2, and a description of how it failed. -- Steven _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
