Portage has some tests that use the unittest framework that ships with python (2.3-2.4ish)
Tests have a specific naming convention.
-in tests/ there is a runTest script that invokes tests/__init__.py
+in pym/portage/tests/ there is a runTest script that invokes pym/portage/tests/__init__.py
This init looks at a hardcoded list of test dirs to search for tests.
If you add a new dir and don't see your new tests, make sure that the dir is in this list.
So if I was to write a vercmp test, and vercmp is in portage_versions.
-tests/portage_versions/test_vercmp.py
+pym/portage/tests/portage_versions/test_vercmp.py
would be the filename.
The __init__.py file now does recursive tests, but you need to tell it so. For example, if
you had cache tests the dir format would be something like...
-tests/cache/flat_hash/test_foo.py
+pym/portage/tests/cache/flat_hash/test_foo.py
and you would put "cache/flat_hash" into the testDirs variable in __init__.py.
