Since Python does not use manifest typing, there's not much you can do about this, but typeless languages like this are great if you're using a process that finds the errors the compiler would otherwise find. I'm referring, of course, to Test Driven Development (TDD). If you do TDD, you won't mis

pyunit and Eclipse

I was working with a friend on a project Monday night, and tried to run a pyunit test from Eclipse, and nothing seemed to happen. We finally figured out that the test is doing exactly what it's supposed to do, but the pyunit output isn't making it to the Eclipse console window. We get the same re
