Hi Jonathan,
just a question: are you reporting the coverage of the C++ code?


If yes, how do you achive that? gcc with the gcov option?
Are you building a python extension to do that?

PS: we are also using python to test our code, as C-extensions, but as this
extension is loaded dinamically (dll in windows) no coverage report is 
gathered
(the extension should be compiled statically with the interpreter AFAIK).

Thank in advance!
