We've got a basic subset of pyscheme up and running by now. To ensure that we don't break any existing functionality we need an easy-to-run comprehensive unit testing system.

The unit testing system should:

  • verify the created data structures
  • verify the contents of the created data structures
  • be quick to run. If it takes longer than a second to run, it ought to be stripped down
  • provide a way to run all unit tests
  • be launchable from a git pre-commit-hook

Unit tests for pyscheme
44b5759 
Summary:
We finally have unit testing set up!

unittest works just like JUnit - subclass unittest.TestCase for your unit tests
and place them in a file in tests/. Methods prefixed with "test" are executed.

See python's unittest documentation at http://docs.python.org/library/unittest.html

Run all the unit tests with
``python -m unittest discover``

Sadly this functionality is only provided in Python 2.7+
I'll try to get a pre-2.7 solution at some point, given the popularity of 2.6
and its presence on the Berkeley servers.

Issue: #3

Test Plan:
Seriously. You want me to test a unit testing framework.
Fine.
``python -m unittest discover``
