565.4.2 Running tests using <tt class="module">test.regrtest</tt>
57</H2>
58
59<P>
60<tt class="module">test.regrtest</tt> can be used as a script to drive Python's
61regression test suite.
62Running the script by itself automatically starts running all
63regression tests in the <tt class="module">test</tt> package.
64It does this by finding all modules in the package whose name starts with
65"<tt class="samp">test_</tt>", importing them, and executing the function
66<tt class="function">test_main()</tt> if present.
67The names of tests to execute may also be passed to the script.
68Specifying a single regression test (<b class="program">python regrtest.py</b>
69<b class="programopt">test_spam.py</b>) will minimize output and only print whether
70the test passed or failed and thus minimize output.
71
72<P>
73Running <tt class="module">test.regrtest</tt> directly allows what resources are
74available for tests to use to be set.
75You do this by using the <b class="programopt">-u</b> command-line option.
76Run <b class="program">python regrtest.py</b> <b class="programopt">-uall</b> to turn on all
77resources; specifying <b class="programopt">all</b> as an option for
78<b class="programopt">-u</b> enables all possible resources.
79If all but one resource is desired (a more common case), a
80comma-separated list of resources that are not desired may be listed after
81<b class="programopt">all</b>.
82The command <b class="program">python regrtest.py</b>
83<b class="programopt">-uall,-audio,-largefile</b> will run <tt class="module">test.regrtest</tt>
84with all resources except the <b class="programopt">audio</b> and
85<b class="programopt">largefile</b> resources.
86For a list of all resources and more command-line options, run
87<b class="program">python regrtest.py</b> <b class="programopt">-h</b>.
88
89<P>
90Some other ways to execute the regression tests depend on what platform the
91tests are being executed on.
92On <span class="Unix">Unix</span>, you can run <b class="program">make</b> <b class="programopt">test</b> at the
93top-level directory where Python was built.
94On Windows, executing <b class="program">rt.bat</b> from your <span class="file">PCBuild</span>
95directory will run all regression tests.
