R. David Murray added the comment: Victor and I have been discussing this on IRC. We agreed that importing from regrtest and running regrtest as a script needs to keep working.
Summary of my disagreements: I'm leery of wholesale changes to regrtest because we have gotten bug reports when we've broken things before. Obviously it's not in the same problem-class as breaking Python, but I'd rather see us start a new command that drops the cruft and just does the things we really use, and stop maintaining regrtest. However, I'm not in a position to do that work, and Victor has no interest in it. So, I'm -0.5 on a big refactoring of regrtest (but have no objection to the new features :). I won't block the change, I'd just prefer a cleaner solution...but don't have the time to implement it myself. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25220> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
