New submission from Serhiy Storchaka: Proposed patch converts test.test_support into package and rename it to test.support, move test.script_helper into the test.support package. Old names test.test_support and test.script_helper are left as aliases to test.support and test.support.script_helper for compatibility (hence most tests don't need modification).
Benefits of this change: 1. This makes the structure of the test directory more compatible with 3.x. This helps bacporting tests. There were a number of cases when the only required change in backported 2.7 patch was changing "support" to "test_support". Many times backporting simple tests broke 2.7 buildbots because this change was not made. 2. This makes easier backporting changes in test.support itself and backporting 3.x features from test.support. ---------- components: Tests messages: 292590 nosy: ezio.melotti, michael.foord, ncoghlan, serhiy.storchaka priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: Rename test.test_support to test.support in 2.7 type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30207> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
