What's the topic for tomorrow night?

[Dianne Marsh]

Hey all,

Just wondering if there's a topic yet for tomorrow night.

Good question. Especially since today is yesterday's tomorrow.

I would suggest that maybe someone could demonstrate TDD and unit
testing in Python.
The newbies (which includes me) would probably find that interesting.

Long-time lurker, second-time emailer.

I have a rather busy schedule tonight, but I was tasked with solving
"the TDD problem: how?" at my company, and feel pretty confident with a
variety of python testing frameworks. Currently we use nose plugins in
combination with the standard unittest module, and I personally have
been playing with lettuce for a side project.

If folks are interested, I could prepare something for next time.

Nathan: That would be excellent for the July 7 meet-up!
Perhaps you can recommend some links that folks might download from
so that they can follow along or do some pre-reading.

(I will be out of town on 7-July)

Actually, all folks will need is pip or easy_install and a working
python prompt, and we'll likely just go ahead and do a popular "Intro to
TDD kata" such as the Prime Factors Kata (like the one at
http://butunclebob.com/ArticleS.UncleBob.ThePrimeFactorsKata) or the
"Karate Chop" Kata from PragProg (or both or something)

The actual packages we'll be using are

nose (for classic unittesting) --
http://www.somethingaboutorange.com/mrl/projects/nose/1.0.0/index.html

and

lettuce (for cucumber-style BDD and spec-testing) -- http://lettuce.it

but again, so long as you have one of the python package managers
available and know how to deal with the python path on your system,
you'll be good to go.

I asked Kevin Dangoor for links to the "20-minute wiki" -- a
demonstration of TurboGears.

We will see who shows.

I was there for the last meeting and hoped to make it every meeting, but I will not be able to make it out to AA tonight. Looking forward to the next meeting!
