"limited install" target for testing .so functionality with a test script. #4

Closed rec closed 8 years ago

rec commented 8 years ago

Right now, we have pure C++ unit tests (not enough of them but more to come of course) as part of our build.

What I also do is test from the Python end that generated .so, the binary Python extension, actually works. I have a very minimal test script here which I could easily expand into Python unit tests - except if I use the install target to setup.py then it installs this yet-to-be tested binary into my Python path!

Right now I cheat, by having a symbolic link from the build directory that I haven't checked in which makes it all work.

We need to resolve this and then write some actual unit tests and demonstrations in Python.

We have this in setup.py, though it needs to be refined to work outside my machine. :-D
