#090: 004 Pybots: Testing Python Projects in Real Time
Author(s):

Abstract:

The goal of the Pybots project (www.pybots.org) is to allow people to run automated tests for their Python projects "in real time". Testing is done every time a commit is made to the Python's subversion repository (trunk and 2.5 branch currently), with Python binaries built from the latest source.

I will talk about the setup of the Pybots buildbot farm, about the issues that the Pybots farm has helped uncover, and also about lessons learned in building, sustaining and growing an open-source community project.

Note: Talk recordings have come from different donors, with different levels of quality. A suffix has been added to the basename of each recording reflecting this. For eventual upload to a repository like archive.org, a formal naming convention has been followed:

pycon-{date}-{track}-{timeslot}-{talkno}-{donor}.mp3

For those who might prefer a more human-meaningful name, the recordings have MP3/Ogg/Flac ID3 information within and a simple python script could rename your collection to something in a {title}-{author} form.
