[py-dev] py.test tkinter frontend

[Jan Balster]

Hello,

i finished my rewrite of a tkinter-frontend for py.test. what's the best
way to share it?

i can post a screenshot and a tar.gz file (35kb).

some informations about the package:

it lives under py/test/gui and works only in the py-collect branch.
it provides a tree view for all tests. every test can be executed just
by double clicking it.
the frontend watches all files and directories specified at the command
line.
if a test fails, a text widget shows a report similar to the current
report by py.test (it uses TerminalDriver). all filenames in a report
are links and open a text editor (see tkgui.py/TkMain.launch_editor) to
show the point of failure.
if a test fails the frontend calls tkinter.bell(), so you can hear if
your changes break some code (should be an option).
--collectonly, --nocapture, --showlocals , --fulltrace, --nomagic,
should work as expected.

todo:

* documentation, documentation

* more tests ;-)

* replace hack for config.py and conftest.py !!

* patch drive.py/Driver.runone -> call finish after the captured output
is set (see py.test.gui.guidriver.py/GuiDriver.runone)

* improve performance of tree widget when updating test results!!

i would appreciate your feedback and comments!
thank you!
