Andrew Kuchling started writing up some ideas for functional tests for
distutils some time ago in the Python wiki:
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/DistutilsTesting
Since nothing appears to have followed on from that, I've gone ahead and added
a couple of simple unit/integration tests to distutils. This is done partly
so I can add new tests as I work on the various bits of distutils I need to
touch to implement the improvements I'd like to see, but also so that all the
distutils developers can help contribute to the long-term stability of the
codebase.
Anthony Baxter did a lot of work to document many of the modules that form the
distutils; now we need tests to ensure that those interfaces don't break!
Feel free to review the documentation (part of Python 2.4):
http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/dist/api-reference.html
and contribute tests! (Or improve the documentation, or fix bugs, or...)
