The "test" subpackage contains scripts that test various parts of
Pyrite, using the standard Python test framework.

Running the tests:

  First, make sure you have the Python test framework on your system.
  If you installed Python from source, you probably have it (since it
  is part of the standard Python library).  Some binary distributions
  of Python don't include the tests in the base package; on Debian
  GNU/Linux systems, for example, you'll need to install the
  "python-regrtest" package.

  The driver script for the tests is "regrtest.py".  Run it from the
  command line, and it will execute all of the test scripts and tell
  you which ones pass or fail.  "regrtest.py" can take command line
  arguments; the most interesting ones are:

    -v   - Verbose output.  Without this, the only output from most
           tests will be the pass/fail indication printed by the
           driver.

    -x   - Skip one or more tests, named on the command line.

  Unless -x is given, you can name tests on the command line and the
  driver will run only those tests.


Writing a test script:

  Test scripts must be named "test_<name>.py" and placed in the "test"
  package.  A test is considered to have passed if it exits without
  raising an exception, and failed if it raises an exception.

  The test.test_support module includes some useful objects; see the
  existing test scripts for details.  (One item in test.test_support
  that is relevant to almost every test script is "verbose", which is
  true if the "-v" flag was passed to the driver script.)
