(original) (raw)

I'm a student thinking of participating in Google Summer of Code.

And I'm looking for a guidance.

The proposal that I want to make is "Unit Test framework for IDLE".

I emailed to Todd Rovito and read idlelib for a while,read following link.

http://bugs.python.org/issue15392

Using unittest.mock seemed to be good way to test GUI.

But there is a problem.

There is no unittest.mock in Python2.

http://docs.python.org/2/library/unittest.html

I think using third party mock seemed to be ok, but not best way.

Because, IDLE is a part of official python.

I think relying on third party module is not good.

Do you have any advice?

Thanks.
