I'm new in this list (and to Python), so I'd like to start saying hello to everyone first. I am really enjoying this new language!
I am trying to use the standard tests (like test_list.py or test_dict.py) from the standard library (Python2.5), but they aren't available on a standard Ubuntu Hardy or Ibex installation. Searching in the official download, I found a rich test structure under 'Lib/test/', but in my installation, this directory doesn't contain much. The dpkg-file script didn't find any packages for these specific files either. I looked manually in any 'python-' package that seemed reasonable, with no success, and Google didn't help this time. So, the first question is: How do I install the complete Python test framework under Ubuntu (Debian)? Since I spend long times in a remote area without network connection, I usually try to set-up everything I need (and might eventually need) on my computer in advance, in order to avoid unpleasant surprises. Thus, I would really try to make sure, I have a complete Python installed on my notebook. But I couldn't find out for sure what parts are missing in a standard Ubuntu installation, and what needs to be added manually. So, my second question: What (meta?-)package(s) do I have to install under Ubuntu (Debian) in order to get a full (as in the official release) Python installation? Thank you in advance!
