[Fwd: pykickstart -- looking for unit test volunteers]

For your consideration. -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: James Laska <jlaska(a)redhat.com> Reply-To: For testers of Fedora Core development releases <fedora-test-list(a)redhat.com> To: fedora-test-list(a)redhat.com Subject: pykickstart -- looking for unit test volunteers Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 12:23:08 -0500 Greetings folks, Chris Lumens, maintainer of pykickstart [1], is looking to expand the unit test coverage for the pykickstart package. For those who aren't familiar, pykickstart is used to read and write kickstart files by the anaconda installer, system-config-kickstart, livecd-tools, and snake. Anytime a pykickstart change is made, it can potentially disrupt kickstart processing for all of the supported distros (from RHEL3 to rawhide) or dependent tools. In order to improve confidence in any code changes, we began building unit tests into pykickstart [2]. So far, the tests are proving worthwhile in shaking out several bugs. However, only 4 of 47 kickstart commands have unit test coverage. We could use some help :) I invite folks to come join us in #kickstart where we'll be hosting a unit test development session. WHO: Anyone who ... * is interested in improving their python skills * wants to share their favorite kickstart files * has ideas on how to unit test WHEN: Wednesday, January 28, 2009 from 17:00-21:00 UTC (noon - 5pm EST) WHERE: irc://irc.freenode.net/kickstart WHY: Improving pykickstart makes installing Fedora more reliable ... and why do it alone when writing tests with friends is more fun! Hope to see you there!

Catch/suppress warnings
by James Laska 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Greetings folks, I'm finishing up some work for Chris Lumens to add unittests into pykickstart. I'm trying to reduce the expected noise of some tests and would like to capture or suppress any warnings displayed. Chris directed me to http://docs.python.org/library/warnings.html#temporarily-suppressing-warnin…, which most likely works. But I'm looking for something a bit more backwards compatible (that doesn't use the new with: syntax). Any suggestions or experiences to share? Thanks, James -- ========================================== James Laska -- jlaska(a)redhat.com Quality Engineering -- Red Hat, Inc. ==========================================

Are there any recommended books on representing data in graphs or charts with Python? If not, what are the currently recommended libraries to graph data with? Thanks, John
