[Python-modules-team] Bug#633706: please enable build-time testing

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Package: python-traits
Version: 4.0.0-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

I must confess that I am doing evil:  taking advantage of change of namespace
(removal of enthought. in 4.0) started to backport python-traits to be
installable as python-traits4 on older systems (it will be needed for fresh
release of nipype).  To verify that bloody thing still works, I enabled
unittesting at build time

see
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-exppsy/python-traits4.git;a=commitdiff;h=92fac9f786333bf23f10271964ef0053af1fb531

I bet stock python-traits would benefit from build-time unittesting as
well ;-)

Cheers!
