I have a number of questions:
1) I found the TreeReporter class that produces the default output
(twisted/trial/reporter.py), and I found the file that seems to get
run by trial (twisted/scripts/trial.py) but for the life of me I
couldn't figure out how to get my own class to show up as one of the
reporters that you can select by means of the --reporter=whatever
argument. How do you tie the two together? I can just submit my
modified TreeReporter, but it'd be nice to be able to also submit a
wildly different option...
2) What's the official process for submitting a patch (or where is the
process documented)? I've never actually contributed code to
twisted...
3) Every time I install my custom twisted (with "sudo python setup.py
install" on OS X 10.6.4 system python), trial starts spitting out the
"dropin cache" error (see [1] below) which persists until I run "sudo
twistd --help" as was suggested on the list last week or so. Isn't
there some way we can just address that error condition at
installation time so that doesn't occur in the first place?
4) I'm sold on test-driven development (which is why I'm learning
trial), so I'd like to both check for regressions and write a test for
my patch. I found twisted/trial/test/test_reporter.py -- how do I run
just the tests in that file? Does trial run on itself?
