unittest exits
When I call unittest.main(), it invokes sys.exit(). I would like to run tests without exiting. How can I? Alan Baljeu __ Instant Messaging, free SMS, sharing photos and more... Try the new Yahoo!

Installing packages
I'm new to Python, and just downloaded Py2.6. I also want to use Nose. So I downloaded the latest sources, but it's not at all clear what's the best way to put this stuff into the Python package system. Nose supports easy_install, easy_install doesn't have an installer for Windows and Py2.6, so I think I can't use that. (It only does 2.5 and earlier. (Should I go to Py2.5? Is there more support out there for that?)). Alan Baljeu __ Ask a question on any topic and get answers from real people. Go to Yahoo!

embedding python
Thanks, I have 2.5 now and it works great with Nose. Now for my next project, I want to embed Python and Nose in a C++ program. I know this means using the python25.dll, and I know how to setup the calls. I think though I will not be installing Python on target systems, so I don't want to rely on sys.path including "site-install". I would have a directory with appropriate python files, a subdir for nose, and keep those relative to the application dir. For the Python interpreter, two questions: 1. What is the best way to manage the import paths? 2. How can I invoke an interactive console for this embedded python? I'd like to play with things while my app is running. - Original Message From: Diez B.

Re: Python IF THEN chain equivalence
I think you should rethink your post. The first case you posted makes no sense in any language I know. Also, a whole lot of nested IF's is a bad idea in any language. In Python, you will end up with code indented 40+ characters if you keep going. - Original Message From: jzakiya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: python-list@python.org Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2008 5:06:53 PM Subject: Python IF THEN chain equivalence I'm translating a program in Python that has this IF Then chain IF x1 < limit: --- do a --- IF x2 < limit: --- do b --- IF x3 < limit: --- do c --- .- -- IF x10 < limt: --- do j --- THEN THEN - THEN THEN THEN In other words, as long as'xi' is less than 'limit' keep going down the chain, and when 'xi' isn't less than 'limit' jump to end of chain a continue.

automatic reload
I need a solution for automatically reloading files I edited. This is in a unit testing/fixing context, so there shouldn't be much problem with leftover data. I just need to be able to call a reload_changed() method of some sort before rerunning tests. Stopping and restarting the python interpreter (it's embedded) might be an option if (a) that's feasible within a process and (b) it's quick.

Fw: automatic reload

TurboGears I don't know much about. I'm concerned its reload is specialized for a certain type of file (page generators?) and might not be suitable in general. The other option I was suggessting PyInitialize and Py_Finalize. Finalize comes with a scary list of issues, which basically say things may fail and memory may leak. I notice also Py_NewInterpreter/Py_EndInterpreter does about the same thing for me. Maybe that's the way to go. But these caveats scare me: Also note that the use of this functionality is incompatible with extension modules such as PyObjC and ctypes that use the PyGILState_* APIs (and this is inherent in the way the PyGILState_* functions work). Simple things may work, but confusing behavior will always be near.I'm not sure what these are, but they sound like what I would use in embedding the interpreter. But then again, this is a C function designed for embedding. How could this be a problem?

In your method, just call reload on the modules you need reloaded. TurboGears somehow watches files for changes, so you might want to check out their source to see how it works. I'm sure it's something similar. Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list __ Get a sneak peak at messages with a handy reading pane with All new Yahoo!
