Hi Christian,
You are replying to an old message, somewhere along the line we seem to have
got two threads for the
harness discussion.
Looking back at the IRC logs, I thought we agreed that csv files would cause
more trouble than worth,
because we couldn't find a field seperator that could not potentially appear in
the input, in which case it would have to be escaped etc.
At wich point you said you liked some format that ruby uses for its testing,
which you were going to
investigate and get back to me on.
Sorry if I missunderstood something.
Please see other thread for the patch that imports the python bindings from
source rather than the installed once.
Thanks,
Mesar
