The processing package contains a test sub-package which contains various test modules.
You can do a test run by doing:
python -m processing.test
on Python 2.5 or
python -c "from processing.test import main; main()"
on Python 2.4.
This will run the tests in the following modules:
- test_doc.py
- A test of the default manager and proxy objects using doctest.
- test_connection.py
- Test of the connection types used by the package.
- test_newtype.py
- Demonstration of how to create and use customized managers and proxies.
- test_processing.py
- Test of synchronization types like locks, conditions and queues. Takes quite a while to run because it uses time.sleep() a lot.
- test_reduction.py
- Test that socket objects and connection objects can be transfered between processes.
- test_stop.py
- A test of Process.stop().
All of these except test_stop.py will be run using both processes and threads (by using the processing.dummy sub-package).
Also included in test are
- test_with.py
- The same as test_processing but uses Python 2.5's with statement.
- test_speed.py
- Some simple benchmarks comparing processing with threading.
All the modules in the test folder use freezeSupport() so frozen executables can be produced from them by using py2exe, PyInstaller or cx_Freeze in the usual way.
