python3-nose removal (or revival ?)

Show key headers only | View raw

Hi,

While fixing/updating more random packages for the python3-nose removal;
I stumbled on this new fork:

    https://pypi.org/project/pynose/

This fork brings it's own new problems:
  - licensing needs extensive review:
https://github.com/mdmintz/pynose/issues/36
  - unit test are gone: https://github.com/mdmintz/pynose/issues/39

So I am not convinced it's the way to go;
It still feels like too little, too late.

Kicking Nose out of Debian (+ Ubuntu) would
maybe make some projects reconsider their CI pipeline
to use a better maintained test runner.


python3-pika is the first project I found online that did switched to pynose
as prefered test runner in upcoming release.

Debian Code Search also hints to:
  - django-cte (it's on the todo list too)
  - thunderbird
  https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=pynose&literal=1&perpkg=1

Any advice is welcome.

Greetings

Alexandre
