New issue 77 by marecki: Maintain a dependency tree of tests
http://code.google.com/p/pygr/issues/detail?id=77

It was mentioned during the developers' meeting on the 24th of March that
the problem encountered by Chris earlier, when incorrectly-set PYTHONPATH
caused some of the tests to be quietly skipped rather than reported, is an
endemic issue of (Python's?) test framework, and the only sensible way of
working around it at present is to maintain lists of tests expected to
pass under various circumstances. Chris and I talked about this and in our
opinion rather than maintain such lists by hand, which would produce a lot
of overhead as well as open Pygr to more bugs in the test framework, some
sort of a dependency tree should be created for skipping tests ("if
package A is not installed, skipping test suite X is allowed"), then
merged into reporting at the end of a test run.

This an open issue, please post any comments you may have regarding the
subject.
