In short, no. There's a longstanding ticket about doing this: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/1784. It would be pretty easy to kludge something together that worked for parallelizing across cores if you're willing to sacrifice the debugger support and a bunch of the other advanced things that disttrial aim to achieve. * Add a way for trial to run tests based off a list of FQPNs in a file, say, --from-list * Write something that does: * trial --reporter=subunit --dry-run | subunit-ls > all-tests * split all-tests into N sublists however you fancy * trial --reporter=subunit --from-list=sublistN * Then something that aggregates those subunit streams into a real report. jml _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
