Yes, right now iptest handles options badly, I need to fix that:

I'm totally stumped by that verbosity, I have *no clue* where it's
coming from, though I've looked.  Tracked now:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ipython/+bug/507705

Those ERROR messages aren't affecting the final result, but I still
want them gone:

Yes, I was running them yesterday without installing.  In Windows,
what I did was to add to my PYTHONPATH (Control Panel -> Sysstem->
Advanced -> Environment Variables) the source download directory, and
to my PATH C:\Python26\Scripts.  With those two things, I went to the
IPython/scripts directory, and in a console would type

python iptest

or

python iptest -v IPython.core

etc.

Note that right now, until I fix the bug abov, you should ONLY run

python iptest  # without ANY OPTIONS!

or

python iptest -any-option-you-want   IPython.something.something
python iptest -any-option-you-want   IPython.something.something:somefunc

Both of these were working fine for me.

I'm also curious, in addition to test-suite problems, is it working OK for you?

Cheers,

f
