Agenda

1. Welcome

2. Python test framework (see #761, #677 and #762)

   • 500+ nosetests
   • currently two setups: nosetests when available + normal unittests as fallback (far fewer tests)
     • reason: on some machines nosetest is not available
       • unittest: standard install, but no automatic test discovery (only >=Python 3.2)
       • nosetest: test-discovery, junit/xml output support (was required by jenkins)
         • nosetest not supported, nosetest2

   Option A: move to pytest (moving supposed to be easy)

   Option B: keep nosetests for Python-2*, move to pytest for Python-3* (maybe use python2 backports of 3.2 pytest with automatic test discovery)

   Conclusion: this needs more investigation (→ Project)
