(original) (raw)

I disagree. Running tests in debug code tests more things thanks to assertions, and provides more info in case of test failure or crash. Some assertions only fail on some platforms. See for example test_locale which fails with an assertion error on solaris (since Python 3.3).

Adding one or two slaves should not hurt. You need maybe at least one on Windows and another on OS X.

It would be an option to run half of the Unix slaves (especially the ones with

the more aggressive compilers) in release mode. I think that is beneficial anyway.
