Steve Purcell added the comment: Hi Virgil; thanks for stepping up to this. Backward compatibility was largely for the sake of compatibility with Jython, which was always lagging far behind CPython. I doubt it's a concern these days, and the unittest.py in the Python source repository should probably always be implemented in the nicest, cleanest way possible with the latest CPython.
Your changes look good to me, except for the KeyboardInterrupt one -- unless the way Ctrl-C is handled by Python has changed in the last couple of years, changing this "except:" clause will stop the text-mode test runner from being interruptible. Admittedly the TextTestRunner should somehow be given an opportunity to detect Ctrl-C in order to stop when asked, but this diff does not allow for that. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2153> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
