[Python-Dev] Converting tests to unittest/doctest?

[Quentin Gallet-Gilles]

(oops, realized I didn't send it to the list, just to Titus)

I remember that it was one of the tasks at the Python Sprint at Google last
summer, so I guess this is a good idea (for GHOP, right ?)

I believe you can add the following tests to your list:

test_tokenize
test_cProfile
test_extcall
test_logging
test_profile
test_thread
(and maybe test_pep277 that seems to use both unittest and test.test_support
)

HTH,
Quentin
