0.9.17 won't install

[Doug Winter]

ImportError: No module named matchers._impl

I don't get this error with 0.9.16

[Jonathan Lange (jml)]

Thanks for the bug report both!

I've rolled a new release 0.9.18 that I *think* addresses the problem. I'd much appreciate it if you could download it and check it out.

cheers,

Seems fine on Python 2.7 -- I'm updating the Fedora package right now -- but on Python 3.3, which the NEWS says is supported modulo some cosmetic error, it does not actually work:

Bytecompiling .py files below /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/python-testtools-0.9.18-1.fc18.noarch/usr/lib/python3.3/ using /usr/bin/python3.3

Should I file a separate bug for this?

Oops, spoke too soon -- tests fail on Python 2.7 as well:

Installs for me on Ubuntu Lucid, although I get some warnings:

warning: no files found matching 'HACKING'
warning: no files found matching 'MANUAL'

Our test suite runs too.

Michel, please file a separate bug for the Python 3 compat thing. I'm intrigued by it, since I don't think we've changed anything around that.

I've addressed the test failures with the 0.9.18 release. http://static.mumak.net/testtools-0.9.19-r281.tar.gz is a candidate release tarball. I'll hold off on releasing until we decide what to do about the Python 3.3 thing. I'd appreciate it if you could verify that it works.

[Michel Lind (michel-slm)]

OK, the Python 3.3 issue is probably related to the issue affecting Python 2.7 as well. With the snapshot, the only test failures with Python 3.3 are the cosmetic ones mentioned in NEWS -- dictionary ordering changes, as well as strings containing null bytes

Sweet. I guess I'll fix those up too, and then roll out 0.9.19. Sorry
about the noise!

Done.

Give 0.9.19 a try.

Works fine -- as it turns out, there is indeed a Python 3 issue with the way testtools handle compatibility libraries and how we build our Python packages in Fedora; opening a separate bug for it as there is an oddity in the way compat.py is written as well.
