This patch refactors test_frozen.py to use unittest. When this patch is applied, Lib/test/output/test_frozen can be removed. I am not sure if the last test case is named appropriately. I named it testImportNonexistentFunction because I believe the code is trying to import a function __phello__.foo, which does not exist. I may be mistaken.

Thanks for the patch! It looks pretty good, but there is one problem I see. There should be a test_main() function for this to work from regrtest. For example, take a look in Lib/test/test_bool.py. Also, I don't think you need to seek(0) before getting the value from sys.stdout (ie, cStringIO instance). I don't think you need to support sys.platform == 'mac'. That was for Mac OS 9 which is no longer supported (see PEP 11). Mac OS 10 has sys.platform == 'darwin'. If you're interested, it would be good to produce a patch to remove all (10+) occurrences of comparing sys.platform with mac. I'm assigning this to Ronald just so he can verify the Mac OS 9 issue. Ronald, please comment and then unassign or assign to me.

As Neal wrote sys.platform == 'mac' is of OS9, which isn't supported anymore by Python (or Apple for that matter). The special-case for platform == 'mac' should be removed altoghether and not replaced by a check for OSX because OSX is basically just another unix platform and should therefore support freezing.

Thanks for the input, guys. See version 2 of the patch which should resolve these issues. Question: Why doesn't regrtest give an error if it doesn't run tests? File Added: refactor_test_frozen.py.patch

Thanks for updating the patch, I'll try to take a look at it soon (within a week or so). If anyone else wants to take a look at this, feel free. > Why doesn't regrtest give an error if it doesn't run tests? regrtest can't know the difference between an old style test which executes on import and a new style test which has a test_main. This is why I want to get rid of all the old style tests (the ones that execute by side-effect of import). Then we can have regrtest complain if there is no test_main method just as you suggest.

Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks Neal!

I've already ported this test a little differently before seeing this patch.
