Test-suite in python #36

Open sangallidavide opened 2 weeks ago

sangallidavide commented 2 weeks ago

I do think that there is only one sustainable way to move from perl to python:

  1. we create a new branch and start rewriting a brand new test-suite drive
  2. we test it and make stable and fully functional (note that the perl version took years to become what it is)
  3. we slowly move from perl to python

Now. Even if perl is so obsolete (are you sure? Look https://github.com/Perl and https://www.perl.org/) I see a big problem: who is going to spend hours in rewriting something that is fully working?

I move the discussion on the test-suite in python here.

Sure, it is not something which can be done easily.
