ooooops — I was trying to add .htaccess rules to prevent some image leeching. I’ve removed the rules — sorry about that.

Hi, just wanted to tell you that your retro nose-shaping picture shows up as “say no to image leeching. next time it could be porn.” in Google Reader (through Planet Python). I hope that you’re not following through on that threat :)

I've used various techniques for passing in configuration data before - in some cases, an optparse works - but it doesn't scale to hundred of values. Also, using a plain text key:value also doesn't scale exceedingly well.

The plugin itself could be used in a non-nose project easily. It doesn't use a lot of internal nose-isms, in fact it's only 104 lines of code. It's easy to keep it short when you don't do a ton of syntax verification :)

hi,

this sounds quite useful :) I can definitely see the need for it.

In pygame Nicholas added using command line arguments to pass configuration data into tests. Using optparse. It's worked out quite well. We're not using nose though.

cu,
