[Zope-dev] zope.testing 4.0.0 coming up.

[Lennart Regebro]

I've been working on zope.tetsing lately. The main impetus behind this
is Python 3 compatibility, but also general cleanup. This work was
discussed on #zope bu Jim Fulton, Stephan Richter, Charlie Clark and
me. The conclusion was to release a backwards incompatible
zope.testing 4.0.0.

The backwards incompatibility is the following:

1. zope.testing.testrunner is now in it's own module, zope.testrunner.
I will add a deprecation warning to trunk first, and we'll have to
release a new zope.testing 3.x version, then 4.0.0 can be merged.
2. zope.testing.doctest will be dropped. There is already a
deprecation warning about this.

zope.testing 4.0.0 will support Python 3.

Questions? :)

Is it too late for me to introduce another mildly backwards
incompatible change?

I'd like to add a method to OutputFormatter to handle the specific
case of layer setup/teardown failing and change the rest of the runner
to call that instead of error.

I have no opinion on this. How many tests break in Plone when you do
this change? :)

Just a comment that we should be prepared to maintain zope.testing 3
for some period of time. Maybe we should explicitly limit this period
(e.g. through the end of 2010.)
