I'm thinking of making the following changes: 1. In Lib/test/regrtest.py, move command line parsing out of main() into a function called parse_command_line() 2. parse_command_line() will parse command line settings and store them in a dictionary that can be passed in as **kwargs to main(). 3. The "exclude" parameter that main takes in will be modified to take a list. This list contains a list of tests to be skipped. 4. Update importlib/test/regrtest.py to call main() without doing sys.argv[] hacking. 5. The command line interface will remain unchanged. If regrtest.py is called without the --exclude flag, the tests supplied on the command line will be interpreted as the tests to run. If --exclude is supplied, the tests on the command line will be interpreted as the tests to _not_ run. 6. Switch regrtest.py to use argparse instead of optparse. Do these look reasonable? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8911> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
