Lib/test/autotest.py

"""
Automatic Python regression test.

The list of individual tests is contained in the `testall' module.
These test some (but not all) essential parts of the Python
interpreter and built-in modules.  When a test fails, an exception is
raised and testing halts.  When a test succeeds, it can produce quite
a lot of output, which is compared against the output from a previous
run.  If a difference is noticed it raises an exception; if all is
well, it prints nothing except 'All tests OK.' at the very end.

The output from a previous run is supposed to be contained in separate
files (one per test) in the `output' subdirectory somewhere on the
search path for modules (sys.path, initialized from $PYTHONPATH plus
some default places).

Of course, if the normal output of the tests is changed because the
tests have been changed (rather than a test producing the wrong
output), 'autotest' will fail as well.  In this case, run 'autotest'
with the -g option.

Usage:

    %s [-g] [-w] [-h] [test1 [test2 ...]]

Options:

    -g, --generate : generate the output files instead of verifying
                     the results

    -w, --warn     : warn about un-importable tests

    -h, --help     : print this message

If individual tests are provided on the command line, only those tests
will be performed or generated.  Otherwise, all tests (as contained in
testall.py) will be performed.
