Gulp. OK, you've got me curious: how many people habitually frame their unit tests with resource constraints? I think I take testing seriously, and certainly also am involved with resource limits often, but I confess I've never aimed to write all my tests in terms of bounds on time (and presumably memory and ...). You've got me thinking, Tim. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
