Is it possible to use python to unit test C++ code? If yes, is there
any example available?
Thank you.

You could use Python to unittest a Python module written in C++ I
suppose. I guess that would probably work. I suspect that you would
get better/more accurate/reliable results by writing your tests in C+
+ as well though. sy*******@gmail .com wrote: Is it possible to use python to unit test C++ code? If yes, is there

If I had to use python to test C++ code, I'd use the Boost python
library: http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/ to expose my C++
classes, and write the unittests in python after importing the wrapped
C++ code.
Note, you did ask if it was possible. Is it advisable? That's another
question.
All the best,
Keir.

Yes, it's quite possible. Some people even do it. ;-) As for examples, take
a look at Python's own test suite. Much of the code it contains actually
tests modules written in C, which is near enough to C++ for our purposes.
For example, consider that the math module is a thin wrapper around bits of
standard C89 math functions. The test_math.py script then exercises that
code.
So, you'll have to wrap your C++ library to make it available in Python
(check out SWIG and/or Boost and/or Python's Extending and Embedding
documentation), then write test cases. For that, look at the unittest and
doctest modules that come with Python as well as the third-party py.test
package.

Your wrapper module will need the header files from your C++ library and it
will by dynamically linked against the library's .so (or .dll).

Hi all,
I have a consistent test case where os.popen3() hangs in Windows. The
system hangs when retrieving the lines from the child process stdout.
I know there were several reports related to os.popen3() hanging under
Windows in this group before.
I stumbled on a case where a piece of code works in some occasions and
hangs consistently given different data. It performs exactly the same
on 3 different computers running Windows:

Hi,
first, python is one of my fav languages, and i'll definitely keep
developing with it. But, there's 1 one thing what I -really- miss:
data hiding. I know member vars are private when you prefix them with
2 underscores, but I hate prefixing my vars, I'd rather add a keyword
before it.
Python advertises himself as a full OOP language, but why does it miss
one of the basic principles of OOP? Will it ever be added to python?

What would heavy python unit testers say is the best framework?
I've seen a few mentions that maybe the built in unittest framework
isn't that great. I've heard a couple of good things about py.test and
nose. Are there other options? Is there any kind of concensus about
the best, or at least how they stack up to each other?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
