The easiest (and ugliest) way to do this would probably be to write a file input.txt and a file output.txt with each input/output value, and then to do this on the command prompt: ./a.out < input.txt | diff output.txt - this will run a.out (assuming that's your program's name), feed in input.txt as input, and pipe that into diff to compute the differences between its output and output.txt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
